Black Out

In this Netherlands crime comedy-drama, Jos:
  • wakes to find a unknown corpse in his bed.
  • discovers he stole and lost 20 kilos of cocaine, and both "owners" want it back.
  • has a hole where the last two days of memories should be.
Oh, and he's getting married tomorrow.

He thought he'd left this life behind a decade ago, but somehow he's been pulled back in.  An ensemble cast of criminals interact to weave the story of one important day in Jos' life.  It's not remotely new or anything - it's been more than a decade since Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels after all, but I still enjoy the hell out of the genre.

Black Out
2012, 89 minutes, directed by Arne Toonen
