I haven't watched this little known gem in a solid 13 years or so. I had forgotten how great it is!! It's a British film, starring a very VERY young Ewan McGregor and Christopher Eccelston. It's about three flat mates, who are looking for another person to share their place. Simple enough, right?
After some hilarious interviews, they finally settle on Hugo. He moves in. They don't see him again. After a few days, they break into his room and find him dead, and naked, on his bed. It's never revealed how he died. While on the phone to the police, they discover a suitcase full of money, and promptly hang up the phone, without telling the police what has happened.
That is all I can say without ruining the rest of the movie. Suffice it to say, one doesn't have a suitcase full of money legally, most of the time. There are plenty of plot twists and action. Plus, Ewan McGregor wears a dress briefly, which makes me giggle.
The ending is one of my favorite movie endings of all time. Perhaps I'll come back later some time to discuss it.
