"A charming liar's slow unraveling in power"
Roadkill follows Peter Laurence, a slippery British cabinet minister who wins a defamation case just as old scandals and family secrets start closing in around him. Written by David Hare and led by Hugh Laurie in a coolly charismatic, morally slippery role, it's a talky political thriller more interested in power and self-justification than car chases. The pace is deliberate, dialogue-heavy, and atmospheric rather than propulsive, and it works best if you enjoy watching a practiced liar think on his feet while everyone around him tries to catch him out.
Hugh Laurie's magnetic, morally slippery lead performance carries every scene he's in.
you want tight plotting and a conclusive payoff rather than ambiguity.
