Movies that feel like Key of Life (2012)
A failed actor switches identities with a stranger at a bath house thinking it is his way out of his life of misery but only to find himself filling the shoes of an elite assassin.
If you loved Key of Life, the closest films we have are Hera Pheri (2000), I Went Down (1997) and Save the Green Planet! (2003). All three share Key of Life's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Mafioso (1962).

If Key of Life hit the spot, these will too
The same mix in both: wit, then play
Takes it somewhere less cerebral than Key of Life does
Comedy built on grit, twice over
Trades the ideas of Key of Life for an angle of its own
Cerebral crime, and it commits to that
Leans harder into science fiction than Key of Life does
Witty comedy in both cases
Made in the 1950s, in a different era of the craft
Crime with a pulse of play, in both cases
Cerebral comedy, and it commits to that
The shared currency is wit
A streak of play through both
Both sit in the same gritty register
Both are comedy through and through
The same preoccupation in both: mistaken identity
