When Sean (Stuart Laing) is found dead after attending a particularly uninhibited party, his girlfriend finds it hard to believe that his passing was entirely accidental, and she begins doing some amateur detective work on the matter. In time she discovers three minor-league public figures were the last to see him alive -- Angel Farnham (Con O'Neill), Andrea Wallis (Frances Barber), and Harry Roberts (James Fleet). The deeper the woman digs into the lives of these three, the more disturbed she becomes about the strange and sordid society that they inhabit, and she's drawn into a dark netherworld of crime and corruption. 3 Steps to Heaven was written and directed by Anglo-Greek filmmaker Constantine Giannaris; the film was purchased for American distribution by Miramax in 1995, but it was not seen in the United States until its video release in 2005. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Kevin Carr, 7M Pictures
It swerves into the ludicrous with a hit man that dances ballet before throwing his victim off a building.
-
John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis
...a bizarre little film that may attract an audience on the basis of its peculiarities alone.
-
John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis
...it may be just eccentric enough to please a growing number of American viewers tired of the same old Hollywood crime-movie nonsense.
