Based on John Niven's best-selling novel, Kill Your Friends finds a British music executive (Nicholas Hoult) at the peak of the Britpop era doing what any good music executive does: ample amounts of cocaine and plenty of sexual romps. But Hoult's character goes that extra step and lets his greed and ambition turn him murderous, but he does so with style.

His first victim of the film is any viewer who sees this smirk:[[{"fid":"245036","view_mode":"default","fields":{"format":"default","field_folder[und]":"8704","field_file_image_alt_text[und][0][value]":"Nicholas Hoult","field_file_image_title_text[und][0][value]":"","media_title[und][0][value]":"","media_description[und][0][value]":"","field_credit[und]":"","field_tags[und]":"","field_license[und]":"none"},"type":"media","attributes":{"alt":"Nicholas Hoult","class":"media-element file-default"}}]]

Whoever survives that is done in by this slow drag of a cigarette:

If you're still going after both of those then he'll actually murder you:
