Dead Fish

Dead Fish (2005) is a British dark crime comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Charley Stadler with Gary Oldman, Robert Carlyle, Terence Stamp and Billy Zane.

London locksmith Abe can crack any lock but can't keep his life together: creditors call constantly, his girlfriend is pregnant and gone. Then he accidentally swaps mobiles with Lynch — a hitman who takes contracts exclusively by phone. Abe sees a way to make some money. Lynch, suddenly cut off from his clients, wants to know who has his number. Neither man is prepared for what follows.

Oldman plays Lynch with the easy warmth of someone who wouldn't lose sleep over ordering your death — that gap is where most of the comedy comes from. The film pulls together Karel Roden, Elena Anaya and a chaotic London criminal ecosystem, running on the same frantic energy as early Guy Ritchie but with less interest in tidy plotting.
