Un cadre quinquagénaire sévèrement désabusé décide de faire un brin de ménage dans sa vie familiale… et professionnelle. Du ménage par le vide via quelques accidents malencontreux ! et comme Derrick et Columbo sont absents, notre apprenti tueur en série (machiavélique) ne s’en laisse pas compter ! Bien sûr, c’est un rôle sur mesure pour l’excellent Michael Caine à la fois inquiétant et à moitié cinglé… et pourtant (toujours) éminemment sympathique… mais cette comédie mi-figue mi-raisin, cynique sur les bords ne parvient hélas jamais à décoller. C’est complètement à côté de la plaque, même pas drôle au énième degré ; c’est simplement risible de maladresses (au pluriel) et comme si ça ne suffisait pas, ça se traîne comme une escargot en panne.

What’s remarkable is that you come away from the movie laughing at Graham’s murderous indiscretions and yet you’re frightened by them too. Caine makes you taste the ashes in this black comedy.

A Shock to the System confounds our expectations and keeps us intrigued, because there's no way to know, not even in the very last moments, exactly which way the plot is going to fall.

David Sterritt 18 Oct 1995

Andrew Klavan's screenplay, adapted from a novel by Simon Brett, comes up with funny lines now and then, but it never has any clear idea whether it is a black comedy, a satire or maybe even a psychological study of a serial killer.

Bob Thomas 26 Dec 2007

An amusing debut for both the writer and director, who benefit from Caine's tongue and cheeky turn as the unbuttoned-down Graham.
