may i kill u?

A bash on the head turns a mild-mannered London bobby into a serial killer, albeit one who only targets those who break the law and agree to be killed. Writer/director Stuart Urban's low budget black comedy isn't quite sure what it wants to do, but certainly has its moments of dark release as the reborn vigilante works his way through some thoroughly deserving scumbags. 

That said, Maniac Cop this ain't and even as he cleans up the streets and develops a cult following on Twitter and YouTube, he never quite manages to shake off a distinctly British ineptitude. Kevin Bishop (an unrecognisable grown-up Jim Hawkins from Muppets Treasure Island) is fine as the dim-witted Officer Baz, but Urban’s script doesn’t really go anywhere or ultimately decide whether it wants to be a comedy or a serious depiction of a psychotic. The concept of a sociopathic policeman has a lot of potential, but this fails somewhat in the execution.
