Additional InformationAfter two tragic accidents in the space of a week, London Underground driver and aspiring writer Paul Callow (Mackenzie Crook, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN) is feeling suitably low. That is until a co-worker tells him of the 'three and out' rule; if three people fall under your train within a month you're forcibly retired with ten years salary! Seeing an opportunity to clear his debts and work on his novel, Paul decides to find a poor soul willing to end their days under his train. In steps Tommy Cassidy (Colm Meaney, LAYER CAKE), depressed and estranged from his family, Tommy agrees to Paul's plan but only after making amends with his wife Rosemary (Imelda Staunton, HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX) and daughter Frankie (Gemma Arterton, QUANTUM OF SOLACE, ROCK'N'ROLLA). With time ticking the pair embark on a journey to England's picture-esque Lake District to take care of Tommy's unfinished business.<BR><BR><BR>What follows is an unconventional road-trip/'buddy-movie' with a big heart. In spite of THREE AND OUT's bleak themes of suicide and regret, the film's melancholic tone is lifted by moments dark humour and genuine pathos. Crook and Callow put in fine performances as the odd couple forced together in their grim pact, further strengthened by an A-list supporting cast.
