The Middle Man (2021)
Karmack, eine amerikanische Kleinstadt, erlebt eine ungewöhnliche Häufung von Unfällen. Um nicht immer selbst die schlechten Nachrichten überbringen zu müssen, beschließt die "Kommission", bestehend aus Sheriff, Arzt und Pastor, einen Mittelsmann einzustellen. Dessen einzige Aufgabe ist überschaubar: Er muss die Angehörigen informieren, wenn sich mal wieder ein unglücklicher Vorfall ereignet hat. Der ruhige, eher nachdenkliche Frank Farrelli scheint perfekt für den Job. Mit Begeisterung geht er in seiner neuen Rolle auf und wird schnell zum Sprachrohr der Stadt für sämtliche schlechten Nachrichten. Doch dann überwältigen der Druck des Jobs und eine aufkeimende Liebe den sonst so besonnenen Frank. Um Abhilfe zu schaffen, fordert er einen Gefallen ein, der in einem schrecklichen, aber seltsam amüsanten Mord endet …
