Shallow Grave
1994
***½
Director: Danny Boyle
Cast: Ewan McGregor, Christopher Eccleston, Kerry Fox, Ken Stott
Danny Boyle's directorial debut is an enjoyable and unpredictable black comedy about three friends whose new roommate dies and leaves behind a suitcase full of money. This leads to a modern day version of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. The film is sharply written and acted, but it loses its grip a bit towards the end.
