Review - Pest Control
A mildly interesting concept, but it never really made it all the way to funny.

| Notes: | Bob is an exterminator who is trying to develop a more organic way to kill bugs by getting other bugs to do it for him. He is mistaken for a contract killer and contacted by a syndicate. He isn't sure what they're talking about — they think he's talking code. When the wanted man coincidentally dies, things get crazy. A drug lord kills his brother and blames it on Bob and then hires the best hit men in the world to kill him. Except for Klaus, the best hit man of all, who has a good heart. When he meets Bob, he realizes he's just a regular guy with a wife and kid. He explains everything, and then the two of them team up to kill all the hit men using a variety of means involving New York City, guns and insects. When it's all done, they fake the deaths of themselves and Bob's family, then all move to the country and go into business together as exterminators. |
