I had no idea that Kamal Ahmed, one of the Jerky Boys, has been writing and directing low budget films for a number of years. This grindhouse throwback to the gritty NYC 1970s crime flicks, the likes of of Abel Ferrara or Larry Cohen, is fun for fans of that subgenre, though I'm not sure others will get much out of this film. The excellent William Forsythe plays a hit-man who follows a woman to her creative writing class (taught by the big brother from "ET") where he begins writing stories based on his crimes to impress her. It's an interesting set up, that felt very Larry Cohen-esque, but the characters and plot never really grabbed me. The film seems more of an exercise in style, with the players acting out film archetypes rather than fully fleshed out characters. Tom Sizemore even shows up, in true B-picture fashion, for what must have been a one-day shoot talking directly to the camera and not interacting with any other actors. Still, when all of this is packaged in an obvious nostalgia piece, right down to an amazing retro style title sequence and score (by Scott Hampton), this film is enjoyable enough for fans of films like "Ms. .45" or "God Told Me To."

Great job all the way around.Tom Sizemore,Victor Colicchio and Bianca Hunter perform well but William Forsythe as Frank Stone stands out from the rest of the cast. The others did a good job but Forsythe is just a cut above the rest in this one.He pretty much is playing two characters in one as his personality is completely opposite after he awakens from the coma.He is just about great in every role he plays.My favorites are Ice in Stone Cold and Manny Horvitz in Boardwalk.Excellent story by Kamal Ahmed who is both the writer and director. Wish there were more movies of this style out there.It has that old school style to it.With so much garbage out there nowadays, this one is a breath of fresh air. A definite much watch.

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.

Wonderful!!! Laugh killer Laugh is one of the few films in which I personally did not find any significant weakness even after many viewings. From the direction, to the acting, to the storyline, to the score, Laugh killer Laugh has the word classic written all over, and it really is not much of a surprise that it is now considered by many one of the top five movies of all time. The movie has both a comedy feel as well as a gangster vibe. The writing and director is superb. Rarely a movie has defined or re-defined a genre as much as this one did for "gangster movies", but its influence goes well beyond that. If you look deep enough you get a feel for something that is truly different in film making.Worth a watch! Thanks Mike Lyonns
