He Was a Quiet Man

A darkly humorous plunge into the life of an office drone who harbors thoughts of terminating his co-workers but never has the courage to pull the trigger. On one fateful afternoon, Bob Maconel (Christian Slater) crosses the line from potential killer to inadvertent hero when he saves beautiful Venessa (Elisha Cuthbert) from another man's bullet. His Boss (William H. Macy) transforms Bob into an executive but his good fortune is short lived when the object of his desire asks him to end her life.
