Nick Moran stars in this drama as Christie Malry, a lowly bank worker who indulges in extreme fantasies of sex and violence to escape his humdrum life of a job he hates and having to care for his dying mother. Whilst taking an evening class, Christie learns the principles of double-entry bookkeeping and adopts the theory that for every credit there must be a debit for his own life. Soon enough he uses these 'credits' to avenge those he feels have wronged him, and these acts of revenge rapidly get out of hand. Set against this is the equally interesting story of Pacioli, the monk who invented double-entry bookkeeping in Renaissance Italy.

Make that a debit
What an incredibly odd film. It starts off well with the concept that life requires a balance, so that for every negative happening there should be a positive ... read more »
It was a dirty dozen years ago: I was working for Time Out magazine and a publicist wanted me to preview a low budget British gangster film made by a first-time filmmaker. This was at a time when low budget British gangster films were ten-a-penny – and almost all dreadful. There was no reason to think this one would by any better, it featured a few familiar faces, a handful of actors who had been kicking around for a couple of years (Jason Flemyng, Dexter Fletcher, Nicholas Rowe, Steven...
