About This Movie

C(r)ook (2004) by Pepe Danquart is an intriguing mix of comedy, crime, and thriller. It dives into the quirky life of a hitman with culinary aspirations. Picture this: a killer who's had enough of bloodshed, wanting to trade his gun for a spatula. The film plays with dark humor, balancing the tension of impending doom with moments of absurdity. Characters are colorful, and the pacing keeps you engaged, especially when the mob boss starts getting suspicious. Practical effects add a raw edge that complements the chaotic environment of Vienna's underworld. Performances are lively, particularly the lead who's charmingly conflicted between his violent past and his gastronomic dreams. It’s distinctive for how it intertwines the mundane with the macabre.
