Hit-man Spencer (Ashton Kutcher) meets and falls in love with Jenny (Katherine Heigl) whilst he is on a mission and she is on holiday in Nice. He immediately retires and settles down for a quiet life. Happy married 3 yeas later, their perfect life is ruined when a $20 million dollar price is put on his head. It's not hard to see what attracted Ashton Kutcher to killers Teaming up with 'Greys Anatomy' star Katheine Heigel seemed like a good idea, as she was doing well in the Romantic Comedy genre with 'Knocked Up' and 'The Ugly Truth' both grossing over $200 million while '27 Dresses' made over $100 million at the Box OfficeWhilst 'What Happened In Vegas' with Cameron Diaz made over $200 million, 'The Guardian' with Kevin Costner under performed and 2009's 'The Spread' only made $12,000,000 Kutcher is likable and is the only real reason to see this, Heigl is really annoying as she does a really bad impression of Goldie Hawn in 'Bird On A Wire' for the entire movie.Tom Selleck appears as Heigl's dad, and seems to think he is in a different movie. Give it a miss. Avoid it like the plague. Tell your friends to pass it by. With the exception of Kutcher, the acting is bad, bad, bad (Tom Selleck included)

I love Katherine Heigl and I love Ashton Kutcher. They make a cute couple and frolick in this new Romance together. I admit it"s a little tough seeing Ashton move from the role of comedic jokester playboy to a 007 character. But, he's so charming, he pulls it off. Good job Director Robert Luketic! Kudos! And who wrote this stuff? Great! Funny! I don't want to give the plot line away... so again I will just tell you to WATCH THE MOVIE if you love comedies, Ashton and Katherine. Killers is a easy movie to watch. Very entertaining. Well written. You do get to see a couple good scenes with Ashton in them. My buddy Lance really LOVES ASHTON. He would LOVE this movie. I think George would too. Anyways, Ashton looks good, but I could only imagine if Ashton would work out as hard as Demi Moore did for GI Jane, and then make another movie, how ultimately HOTTER he would look. I hope he reads this and hits the gym with FULL FORCE! Go Ashton!Some Woman Named Teresa in Nebraska

I went to see this film with one of my mates when it was released. OK, I admit, it was an impulse watch (because we were stuck in town for another 3 hours) and one which will haunt me for the rest of my life.This film was an absolute disgrace. Words cannot express the horror with which I watched this movie. (well, I say watched, when what I actually mean is 'threw up in my popcorn'). When we regarded the title 'Killers', my friend and I felt that this was something that we could sit through. We were wrong. In fact, we didn't even watch the end, we were so upset that this kind of cheap, awful cinema was even produced.Having finished my rant and anecdote, I will now commence to slate the film for all it deserves. For me, this film got 1, because the opening looked fairly promising, it was snappy, and puts you, as the viewer, in an expectant position. What follows is full to the brim with terrible acting, clumsy dialogue, and gaping plot-holes. There are two main beauties of cinema. One is that, although obviously not real stories (mostly), the director (if he has any skill at all) makes the characters and setting believable/plausible. This film was useful to the film industry as an example of a complete and utter failure of this aspect of cinema. Secondly, with so many stylistic influences, it is possible for directors to merge, successfully, different genres. This film's tone flailed wildly, and did not have any sense of direction at all. The story itself did not make any sense, and was fiendishly difficult to follow. Luketic should be ashamed, and Kutcher and Heigl should never, ever act again.

A hired government assassin operating in the French Riviera is seen in action as the story begins. Spencer, disguised as a vacationing tourist, gets to meet the beautiful Jennifer, who has come to Nice to accompany her parents. Spencer and Jen meet and it's instant fireworks. Their romance continue back home after their vacation. Are we surprised we end up getting married? Of course not.Three years of marital bliss go by and suddenly everything starts going haywire in their cozy little world. For one, Spencer's past comes to haunt him. He is being sought by his former handler to do another job. When that man in charge, is killed, Spencer realizes he is in trouble. To complicate things, Jen decides to join him as all kinds of friends and neighbors decide they want to kill Spencer."Killers" was probably a different movie that went through changes and revisions. The finished product is a mess, just to say something nice about it. Directed by Robert Luketic, who did much better work before, it just does not make much sense as it plays on the screen. There is not an ounce of credibility in the way the story plays out. Spencer and Jen prove to be protected by a shield where even Uzis and other fire arms do not even scratch, or nip them. One can only hope the destruction of the lovely suburban Georgia was only make believe.Ashton Kutcher as a French speaking hired gun, ridiculous. Katherine Heigl has done much better in other vehicles. The stars do not show much chemistry together and that is perhaps what is the basic problem. Catherine O'Hara plays Jen's mother, a woman that loves her drink and does not even get drunk after all the liquor she pours for herself. Tom Selleck is Jen's father who has to do a lot in the scheme of things.
