Till spins a sloppy but uproariously clever urban fable, one that doesn’t sanctify or belittle the handicapped, but rather shines new light on that invisible population by inviting them to play the most visible of movie archetypes: assassins.

Writer-director Attila Till is content to indulge a complication-free mix of bloodshed and pathos.
