Risto has gambled away his home and family, and Arto has literally lost his brain. These two dejected individuals end up running a hearse service for a grim gambling operation. Following the delightful The Blind Man Who Did Not Want to See Titanic (2021), Teemu Nikki returns to the miserablism of Euthanizer (2017). This dark comedy is consistently implausible but rarely funny, and Nikki fails to elicit any sympathy from me for the desperate main characters.
