So why would the Killer laugh then? How is he funny to misquote a character portrayed by Joe Pesci? Some things you may never get an answer too. But does the title really matter? Maybe it's supposed to be self deprecating, considering the mood our main character is in almost all the time.And we get a really good main actor here with William Forsythe. So the ingredients are good (one Fanboy is ecstatic about this to a point he'd eat up anything he gets served, which is fine, but let's keep our focus on the bigger picture), but the overall result does have some major issues. Mean streets this isn't, mainly because while it is gritty it never captures the quality that movie had. Still if you like decent crime dramas with a low budget, you will have fun with this. Especially because it doesn't choose the route of beautiful (though a bit more quality acting from the other main players would've been helpful)

These are the kind of movies I miss. "You don't make up for your sins in church; you do it in the streets; you do it at home. The rest is bullshit." Laugh killer Laugh is a powerful tale of urban sin and guilt that marks Kamal Ahmeds's arrival as an important cinematic voice and features electrifying performances from William Forsythe and Tom Sizemore. Great stuff, worth a watch.Loved the cameo by Artie Lang.Hopefully these guys keep making movies. I would love to see what comes next

There have been many movies which utilize dark theme of crime cynically, even amongst them Laugh Killer Laugh is one of the quirkiest. It takes so much liberty on presenting the dark narrative, it ends up dry and incoherent. The most notable anomalies are the exhausting script and the rigid lead character which frankly repels the audience's sympathy.This is the story of Frank Stone, a gangster in lamentation. He wanders unemotionally at times, barely uttering words for the majority of the movie. Meanwhile, his colleague narrates the story with too much crude delivery, it becomes less audience friendly. It uses plenty of self-awareness about the genre and deliberately makes fun of it, half of the plot is Frank attending writing class as a sort of realism commentary.However, it's done with tiresome dialogues resembling drunken banter. Heck, some of these are actually drunken banters. They talk in cryptic, brash and repetitive manner, occasionally to themselves and even the audience. The screenplay seems forced, and despite the ambitious take on the gritty subject, the movie feels detached. It demands patience from audience since it takes quite a while to build up and even then it's littered with inconsistent narrative.Acting and cinematography are made to emulate real life. The shots are all taken in diagonal claustrophobic angle and most of the scenes have heavy 80s action movie atmosphere. Unfortunately, the characters are either highly exaggerated or extremely cliché. It also displays incredibly gory scene out of nowhere, which is far from appealing.While it tries to deliver cynicism on crime element, the bizarre script and unsympathetic characters will deter casual viewers and genre fans alike.

The movie has comedy, gangster interaction, and emotion. It was totally worth watching. I felt for the main character because he was abused as a young boy. He grew up mad and alone. He had no family or friends to turn to. He finally meets the love his life and she suffers the consequences of his life choices. I knew there would be comedy involved when I heard Kamil was the director. I've always been a fan of his especially in my younger years when he was a jerky boy. I was in suspense while laughing throughout the movie. Very entertaining.My favorite movies include laughter and suspense and this had it I urge you to buy this move and watch it . You won't regret it.
