Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Claudio Carvalho The college student Natalie Ross (Leah Gibson) goes missing and her friend and roommate Amanda Rowe (Katie Cassidy) accuses her ex-boyfriend Cameron McClure (Torrance Coombs) to the police. However nothing is proved against Cameron and Amanda's roommate Zoe (Shannon Chan-Kent) decides to rent Natalie's room to share the expenses of their house. They accept the student Hayley Jones (Tracy Spiridakos) and she gets close to Amanda. When the upset Cameron threatens Amanda, Hayley defends her and they have a close relationship. Soon Cameron breaks in their house and hits Amanda; however Hayley arrives at home and hits Cameron on the head with an axe. Hayley convinces Amanda to hide the corpse, burying in the farm of her abusive father Garret Jones (Donal Logue). Then she tries to convince Amanda to kill Garret, but Amanda refuses. Hayley kidnaps Amanda's friend Mark (Adam DiMarco) to force Amanda to kill her father. What will Amanda do?"Kill for Me" is a predictable and shallow straight for video thriller. The characters are poorly developed and Cameron, for example, is murdered and forgotten by the plot. The bisexual Amanda is also a confused character and it is not clear why she had accused Cameron for the disappearance of Natalie. The conclusion is corny and is not clear why Garret has kept Natalie alive in the hole. As most of these average thrillers, the conclusion offers an easy moralist solution to all the problems, with the villains dead and the redemption of the lead character. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "Sentença de Morte" ("Death Sentence")
Leah You've seen this premise before. It doesn't particularly go out of its way to bring something new to the revenge-thriller genre. The "twists" are obvious and uncomplicated. The acting is far above the cringe-worthy B-movie crap that the 1-star reviews would have you believe this is, and there are occasional moments of excellent tension and violence, but it's not very memorable overall. It's by no means a bad movie, however--even if I was really hoping to be surprised with a twist ending. (No such luck.) Like many thrillers, it falls apart in the third act and tries to wrap things up too quickly and neatly.There are far worse examples of the genre out there. If you're in the mood for watching college girls hurt bad people and get in over their heads, go for it.
toddinator2004 I Just wanted to point out that I've just watched this and I'm definitely not in any way involved in the production of it as so many seem to be accusing others of. I'm not reviewing every detail as many have already but I must say Katie Cassidy is absolutely stunning and really puts forth a great performance here as well as the lovely Tracy Spiridakos. I gave it a solid 8. I'm just not sure where these people are getting a 1 from....have they seen what I've just seen? There are far far worse movies out there. Battleship for instance is certainly a horrible movie and deserves a 1. I was thoroughly entertained from start to finish and that's more than I can say about a lot of the other movies I've seen recently. I suggest checking it out. Is it Oscar worthy? No. Is worthy of an hour and a half of your time? Certainly!
jpeg00 Don't watch the trailer if not you will complain that it sucks. The trailer spoils the movie.Kill For Me is actually a lot better than one would think. The acting was quite good, the writing was good, the directing and cinematography was well done. There may be a few "gratuitous" scenes but it doesn't spoil the movie, if anything it adds to the complexity of the situation/characters I am not a huge thriller fan but I rather enjoyed this one. The story is different (not Oscar level or anything), the pace was good and it keeps you guessing. Enough plot, twists, action and chemistry to keep you watching and to understand what is happening. It's not a horror so you won't be jumping out of your seats at any time.You may think some of it is unrealistic but after a while it makes sense that certain characters do certain things that may seem out of character to most people.*SPOILER* kind of The one thing I did find a bit odd was the lack of remorse but I guess you get numb to the trauma after a while.
