The Darwin Awards

M ldsv

Starring
Joseph Fiennes, Winona Ryder, Juliette Lewis

Director
Finn Taylor

Year
2006

Genre
Comedy

Synopsis
In this quirky, irreverent comedy, described as the X-Files meets Jackass, Joseph Fiennes stars as Detective Michael Burrows who is obsessed with The Darwin Awards, which honours those who accidentally kill themselves in really stupid ways.

So when he's fired for bungling an arrest, he offers his profiling services to a life insurance company. Winona Ryder stars as a tough claims investigator who Burrows teams up with to identify these unfortunates before they die. All the while they're being filmed by a very uncooperative documentary maker to a killer soundtrack, which includes Metallica, Judas Priest and The Violent Femmes.
