PREVIEW
The man with a pumice stone for a forehead (© our Gossip Mistress) Christian Slater stars as Bob Maconel, a quietly disillusioned office worker who dreams of murdering his co-workers. On a particularly bad day, however, he's transformed from potential killer to unintentional hero when a colleague gets there before him and goes on a shooting spree in the office. Bob stops the shooter in his tracks by killing him with the gun he intended to murder with himself, and in the process, saves lives and is thrust into the role of saviour by the people he once dreamed of killing. The premise for this dark comedy is brilliant, and it's said to be a visual treat, too.
