Mr In-Between (a.k.a. The Killing Kind) is a 2001 British crime drama film based on the novel of the same title by English novelist Neil Cross.

Plot synopsis

Hitman Jon (Andrew Howard) lives a life of relative solitude, until one day he happens upon an old friend (Andrew Tiernan) and is plunged into an unneeded relationship. The truth slowly unravels about Jon and what he does, endangering the lives of those close to him, and Jon is faced with an ultimatum. He must make his most difficult decision ever: whether to save the woman that he loves.

Production notes

• Early on, the film's producers were skeptical about the choice of Paul Sarossy, a first-time director and an American in an otherwise all-British production crew, but eventually agreed he was the best man for the job.
• Director Paul Sarossy, better known for his work in cinematography, wanted to focus on his directing and told cinematographer Haris Zambarloukos not to let him behind the camera, no matter how hard he persisted, for the duration of the shooting.
• In the original screenplay, as well as in the novel, the tattooed man's lair was a large, Victorian-style manor. But director Paul Sarossy wanted something more dismal, and so writer Peter Waddington revised the scenes to take place in the sewers under the streets of London.
