There's a place for movies like _Dead in a Week_, small films that pick the thing they want to do and follow through on it. Movies ike this usually end up being at the very least **moderately** successful (in terms of quality) and the Brits are particularly good at it. This isn't the sort of movie t ... hat I'm going to hold dear to my heart for all time or anything, but I'm glad that _Dead in a Week_ is good, saves me from having to make some sort of "_My Money Back_" joke. _Final rating:★★★ - I liked it. Would personally recommend you give it a go._
