One For the Road
2003 · Movie · 96 min. · United Kingdom
Jimmy, Paul, Richard and Mark meet on a rehabilitation course for drink drivers. Jimmy is desperate to sell his late father's business; Paul is a failing salesman; Richard is a retired millionaire and Mark is a taxi driver with a weakness for weed. Very quickly they realise the course is the opportunity of a lifetime as Paul, Mark and Jimmy plot to relieve Richard of some of his wealth. However, unbeknown to them, he is savvy to their plans and is always one step ahead. An innovative black comedy, the film pushes the boundaries of digital video technology as it follows the events of the four men on a week long course, bonding over the idiocy of Role Play, the battlefields of Paintball, nights of drinking and impotent passion, and a celebration end of course party round the pool at the millionaire's mansion.
