this movie is the epitome of bang to hype ratio being so uneven as to be totally uncomparable to anything committed to film...the ridiculous fake praise on the packaging made this a 'must-see' indie film gem...upon viewing, it is now a 'must miss' piece of indie crap that renders the opinions of anyone praising this festering pile of shit null and void...shot on a budget of five dollars that would've been better spent on a 12 pack of Milwaukee's Best...at least I would've known the headache was coming...
... View MoreWhen I worked at a video store, I typically had a standing rule that any video box which needs to rely on mylar or 3-D images on the front of the box is probably something to stay away from; the filmmakers or distributor must not think highly enough of their film to let regular artwork speak for itself, and must rely on, literally, "flashy", eye-catching gimmicks to attract attention. KILLERS, with its shameless use of a mirror-y cover box, seems to be the one exception to my rule.Although obviously low-budget, this is a tight little thriller that pretty much hits the mark -- a satisfying (if not original) piece that I'd gladly recommend to anyone who enjoys suspense.
... View MoreAn embarrassing piece of cinematic incompetence. I've heard more compelling dialogue in laundry detergent commercials and seen better acting in Mentos ads. At no time during this reel of tripe was there even the most vague hint of suspense, character development or unpredictable sequence of events. This was a completely sophomoric attempt at film making and the result was a film with absolutely no redeeming qualities.Ishtar beware! ! ! !
... View MoreI don't really like action/horror films, but when a friend wanted to rent it, I agreed. Even though I didn't really recognize anyone in the film, it kept me engrossed. You don't get a minute to breathe, and I did hide my face a few times, but both the friend and I agreed it was well worth watching. Great to see a film that is not totally predictable, overly slick and glossy.
