Synopsis

A man who is tied to a chair with a bag over his head is telling jokes to Jerry and Tom while they wait for a phone call instructing them to kill him.

In a series of similarly intense vignettes, a Chicago hit man plays mentor to his impatient cohort in this horrifyingly hysterical comedy.

The film version of Jerry and Tom was selected for screening at the Sundance Film Festival.

Press Reviews

"A hilarious slice of life about a blue color hit man and his protege."

— Los Angeles Weekly

"Viciously funny comedy."

— L.A Times

"Terrifyingly funny little gem.... Cleveland's grisly scenarios are offset by humorously skewed dialogue including a riotous retelling of an associate having his nose bitten off."

— Los Angeles Reader

"A nice, neat piece of nasty business [with] ... a good balance between hilariously cartoonish and gruesomely noirish elements."

— Chicago Tribune
