Plot Summary
Baz (Barry Vartis) is one of Britain's new breed of police, a cycle cop. Although he appears to be a figure of fun, a freak accident turns him into a psychopath... As riots break out in London, a head injury changes Baz from an everyday police officer into a mad vigilante, offering no hope criminals a stark choice, arrest or death. Baz sees this campaign as 'lawful killing'. Criminals too stunned, confused, or drunk to argue are politely asked, "May I kill you?" and merrily dispatched on their final journey. All these exchanges are recorded on Baz' helmet-cam and posted anonymously on social networks. Using the alter ego Baz acquires an increasing number of fans with each killing, dispensing justice to scumbags, cleaning up society like some bizarre and deadly 'Robin Hood', ridding society of its ills. But, in a sudden reversal, Baz is captured by an enraged relative of one of his presumed "kills" and faces slaughter or even worse… exposure.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: The only real response to a thuddingly unfunny vigilante satire like "May I Kill U" is, "Well, I hope that filmmaker got something out of his system."
Rotten: Urban's stab at black-comedy satire is hobbled by the obviousness of his characters.
Rotten: There may well be a worse film released this year than this unwatchable British black comedy, although it sets a terrifyingly low benchmark.
Rotten: A spoof of right-wing reactionary politics that feels better suited to television than cinema.
Customer Reviews
Made me miss London!
I guess some people just don't get British humor! This movie really made me laugh at inappropriate things. That's how I know it was good, besides just plain enjoying the story. Frances Barber was so terrific as Baz's Mum. You hated her all the way through and were quite pleased with the outcome.
