NO PANIC, WITH A HINT OF HYSTERIA

Cinemavixion Review

Tomasz Szafranski's 2016 dark comedy, 'No Panic, With a Hint of Hysteria,' plunges viewers into a chaotic world where a mild-mannered accountant attempts a perilous career change into the world of contract killing. The film, starring Stephen Baldwin and Charlotte Kirk, presents a narrative rife with escalating complications. As the protagonist inadvertently crosses paths with the mafia, he finds himself pursued by a relentless cadre of criminals, law enforcement, and even his own wife, who remains oblivious to his dangerous double life. The plot, while leaning into established tropes of the crime-thriller genre, aims for a blend of suspense and dark humor, offering a cautionary tale about the unforeseen consequences of trying to escape the mundane through increasingly illicit means. While critical reception and awards are not prominently highlighted, the film's premise suggests a wild ride for audiences drawn to its particular brand of comedic mayhem.
