Laugh Killer Laugh stars William Forsythe as a jewel thief with absolutely no sense of humor or personality. Forsythe's character, Frank Stone, grew up an orphan and was abused as a child. With no family or friends, he just pulls jobs, kills anyone that gets in his way, and is a good earner for the Mob guys that keep him busy.
Eventually, his interest in a girl and opening up about himself for the first time gets him into trouble with his employer, who decides they no longer need his services.
After spending some time in a coma, Stone awakens with not just a sense of humor, but as a guy with no sense at all. He goes after his ex-employer's crew, but now with a different outlook on life and death.
The cast is brilliant and one of the best roles in the film is the Orphanage Headmaster played by Tom Sizemore. I also really liked Jackie, the love interest played by Bianca Hunter, and the Mafia enforcer who is played by Larry Romano from King of Queens. There are tons of small roles as well, played by actors like Kevin Corrigan, Artie Lange, James Lorenz and even Angel Salazar of Scarface (1983) and Carlito's Way (1993).
Laugh Killer Laugh is an instant revenge classic that leaves you cheering for the anti-hero. It's a disturbing yet endearing film loaded with violence, vengeance and a bunch of laughs along the way.
