This one's a cute, little indie thriller with a silly name and even sillier premise, which succeeds with some endearing performances and creative direction.Selma Blair plays a suicidal snot rescued by accident from her 13-story building leap by an armored car bandit. The deal: She helps him escape, he agrees to kill her later. Hence, the title, the setup and the plot roll all together into one gloppy Cinnabon of a movie.Blair should permanently hire the makeup artist who made her appear, perhaps for the first time, somewhat attractive, despite being required to chain smoke (and, oddly be admonished for it by nearly every male character) throughout the movie.Max Beesley as the hapless bank robber was good in this movie, I think, except I couldn't understand a word he said. He talked faster and more Cockney than Davy Jones on coke.What city is this? Sometimes it looks like New York, sometimes maybe Seattle. Is it raining? Sometimes yes, sometimes, no. Sometimes it cuts to a guy drumming outside on his porch for NO FREAKING REASON.Friends, don't pay attention to that. It's not like this thriller was directed by Ridley Scott, know what I'm saying? Ain't no tautness here. It's a meandering, little independent film with no aspirations to be anything greater, with all the artsy-fartsy trappings and pitfalls you'd expect in a meandering, little independent film. Sometimes the conceits work, but the best you can hope for is that they don't distract too badly (and they don't).That said, the movie would have benefited greatly by a more distinct location. Setting can sometimes become a character in itself, and a film devoid of interesting characters (though interestingly played, which is not the same thing) really needs some attention to detail regarding place. Had the film been set in New York's East Village or some specific Seattle neighborhood, it would have been much more effective. Making the setting vague may have been a creative decision (This could happen anywhere! To YOU!). But my guess is it was budgetary, because the film as a whole comes off like that.Yet, money isn't the make-or-break here. It's really no excuse. Look at the independent horror films of Frank Henenlotter or even the mid-career work of Jonathan Demme, and you'll find a lack of money doesn't necessarily have to translate into indistinct setting. A director's affinity for place can be successfully expressed cinematically on any budget. Just ask Woody Allen.It's the writing. Elmore Leonard would have done wonders with this story. But writer/producer/director Dana Lustig, who's done nothing else you've ever heard of (and probably never will), uses jump cuts and other camera tricks to try to mask shallow dialog, superficial characters with no development, and a deliberately paced plot. Mostly, she fails. (At one point toward the end, the entire movie becomes a two-color blue-black cartoon for about 45 seconds, FOR NO FREAKING REASON.)But Lustig does have a knack for enticing good performances from her actors, even the minor ones (like the elderly bank robbery accomplice who would have been played by Ray Walston, were he still alive). Unfortunately, the movie just kind of forgets about him after awhile. Really, I hope he's OK.Anyway, Blair and Beesley succeed in making their characters endearing to the viewer, even though their lives are wholly distasteful. (Hey, when the viewer is rooting for the violent bank robber and the dour, suicidal homewrecker to get together and tongue-kiss at the end, you gotta thank the actors for pulling that off). Lustig's in debt to these actors because their performances make the audience care and, thus, hold this movie together.And so, this movie is enjoyable, just not as much as it could have been.But coulda-woulda-shouldas don't fly with a piece of art. It is what it is. And in this case, it's worth your while to invest a couple of hours of your time in Kill Me Later.

I bought this movie for $3 and it was worth every penny. I saw it for $5 and thought maybe if i don't find anything else ill grab it. Then i saw it for $3 10 minutes later, and i thought its gotta be worth $3. It was worth $5 but. Ill prob watch it once a year but i couldn't complain. Obviously they made this movie with a hundred dollar note with some change left over but it was entertaining. Its a bit funny too. It is definitely worth a look despite the cheapness.Its got the dumb girl from Wild Things in it. Worth a look I gave it 6/10.BEST QUOTE: My cigarettes are always there for me

I stumbled upon this movie by mistake and was actually presently suprised by it. I have always thought Selma Blair was a quite good actress and she was very convincing in this. Even though at some points in the movie it gets a bit dull and repetative, generally your attention is kept.

Fast and funny. Selma Blair is terrific. Well written and well directed romantic/adventure/comedy about an unhappy bank loan officer played by Blair who is taken hostage by a bank robber while attempting to kill herself by jumping from the roof of the bank. He promises to kill her later if she will help him escape the police.
