Jack is a children's author turned crime novelist whose detailed research into the lives of Victorian serial killers has turned him into a paranoid wreck, persecuted by the irrational fear of being murdered. When Jack is thrown a life-line by his long-suffering agent and a mysterious Hollywood executive takes a sudden and inexplicable interest in his script, what should be his big break rapidly turns into his big breakdown, as Jack is forced to confront his worst demons; among them his love life, his laundry and the origin of all fear.

User Reviews

Simon Pegg is good but this film is fairly forgettable.

Fausto Llampallas Iturriría

The film itself is nothing special, but Simon Pegg's acting good nonetheless. There are many other films with him that are much better. 4/10

Looked very cool but ultimately quite boring and slightly offensive in how it portrays mental illness.

One note film, doesn’t really go anywhere. The central performance is entertaining, but not much happens in this.

Luc-Henri LaPlante

Far darker than expected. Feels like a pessimistic, cosmophobic conspiracy-theorist's wet dream.

Dark, creepy but light and playful at the same time, one of a kind

Rick Anthony McArthur

Sort of the other side of the frazzled coin Harvey Dent from Gotham may have scripted 2 Hector & the Search 4 Happiness which Pegg was in 2!

Surprisingly scary and fun. Another amazing Simon Pegg movie.

Even though it isn’t Simon Pegg’s best film, it is still a great watch

Cátia Alexandre

I love Simon Pegg but sometimes I do not love his movie choices.
