Our critics review will be added soon.
Interesting cast but the movie itself is shallow with ending that doesn't make any sense.
very funny and entertaining.
im not a fan of katherine Heigl at all but i liked the film. was better then i thought it was going to be
Killers surprised me, in that it was better than I expected. Heigl is still very annoying, while Kutcher was surprisingly watchable: as were Tom Selleck and Catherine O'Hara; whose roles really could have been expanded upon. The plot stumbled over itself on occasion, while the characters never get fully fleshed out.
Solid enough piece of nonsense. Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl manage to elevate what could have been a pretty poor film. Some nice action scenes and a few laughs.
The only killing I'm interested in is of the writer, director and cast of the pile of junk.
I went to see this film with my 14 year-old niece. She loved it, I hated it. The good thing about it is that the whole film doesn't take itself too seriously and it was easier to sit through... But seriously, why? Hollywood is constantly wondering why their movies are not doing well in terms of box office but I am sure they just don't care about the productions they are financing. This film is so poorly done and the story is so silly that it doesn't take an screenwriter to put together such an annoying collection of idiocies. This movie should have gone straight to DVD. Aston Kutcher is possibly the worst actor ever; no charisma, no emotion and no chemistry with Katherine Heigl. However, she's a charming girl and I actually liked her in this. She seems natural and her smile illuminates the screen everytime she appears. Wonderful Catherine O'Hara is wasted with a couple of repetitive scenes and Tom Selleck is adequate in his role. A bit obvious, though. Anyway, if you're looking for the least imaginative and stimulating film out there, Killers will be your cup of tea. Although I don't even recommend you to watch it at the cinema. It's not worth it. Wait for the DVD.
Actually wasnt half bad, i went into this movie expecting the worst but got a couple of laughs out of it
Very very very light viewing, enjoyed Kutcher's chest throughout. Terrible film though, poor scripted, dodgy chemistry and had Usher doing a bizarre cameo, I assume Kutcher twittered him to pop by the set and they slipped him in. Unlikeable characters, Heigl is one moan bag and the ending was a tad too predictable. Nice seeing Tom Selleck's moustache again.
Good film. Story kept ahold of me. Kutcher was his usual fun self, Heigel was also good, and abit of selleck never heard anyone lol.
I was in tears after watching this movie. I couldn't believe a romcom could royal me up the way it did. I was so livid after watching this that I couldn't even stop thinking about it the next day in work. This is the kind of film that Al Qeada probaly show to their upcoming soldiers to make them depise the western world or maybe the Americans use it in Guantanamo Bay to torture the very souls of the prisoners by making them watch this on repeat. If the producers had any kind of a soul they would of taken their losses and just binned the movie after it was finished. I belive an enquiry should be held and everyone that had anything got to do with this movie be held accountable for bringing such torrid celluloid into the world. So why do I hate this movie? Many reasons and mainly Ashton Kutcher. Why is he still getting jobs when tere are so many capable comic actors out there. Any film he stars in for now on should be just named Ashton Kutcher 1, 2 and so on. He's the same bloody character in all his films and I'm led to believe he's like this in real life. Ten minutes around him and you'd be asking for the gun. So then theres the plot (if you could call it that) which has been done so many times now its boarding on crazy, most notably in Mr and Mrs Smith. SPOLIER ALERT! Major plot change is Heigl doesn't now Ashton is an ex spy and thats it. Thats your whole plot and this carrys on for the whole film unitl she realises how awesome it is that hes an undercover agent. Seriously... This plot line should of ended when True Lies was released as it hasn't been bettered since. So this is supposed to be a comedy? It has no jokes and the chemisty between the two is awful. So its a romatic film? I can't tell as Ashton and Heigl are so awkward its haunting. An action movie? I wish. The fight scenes are so badly put together that I couldnt help think a kid was directing it because he chose to make a movie when he won grand prize for the make a wish foundation. Anyway please don't go to see this as you are funding terrorism.
I just saw Killers and I genuinely don't know if I should hate it more than I love it. I hate it cause it is a really dreadful film. I like it as if this doesn't make Hollywood studios give up making romantic comedy then I don't know what will. Every year I'd say about 15-20 films just like this are released and maybe only 1 or 2 are actually worth taking a look at. But this year has been especially poor for the genre and they are finally starting to do as bad at the box office as they have with critics. So hopefully the only thing Killers has actually killed is the rom-com genre of cinema, and I for one won't miss it. In Killers an undercover, womanising government hired hitman Spencer meets the recently dumped, beautiful and fun loving Jen. And so he gives up his exciting life of women, flashy cars and exotic places for a boring domestic life with Jen. The film cuts forward three years and the pair are still living a perfect life together. Then the morning after Spencers 30th birthday they realise he now has a stupidly high bounty of 20 million dollars on his head. And it turns out that basically everyone in the pairs life from their friends to their co-workers are actually assassins who are now fighting it out to claim the bounty. And so the pair try to discover who set the bounty, while also trying to save their marriage. It's been a so-so year so far for comedies but this, along with Old Dogs, is a contender for the worst of them. It tries desperately to be like the very average Mr and Mrs Smith but fails miserably. Advertised as an action comedy it doesn't have enough of either to remain engaging. The first half of the film is incredibly dull and just shows the main characters equally boring life together. Then the bounty is set and the second half of the film is filled with sloppy action scenes and irritatingly uncoordinated fight sequences. It's completely unbelievable that every single person in their life would be sleeper assassins doing three years of undercover work. The film really does fail on all accounts. The comedy is pretty much non existent. There are maybe one or two lines in the entire film which brought an ever so slight smile to my face. Every other joke quite simply fails. The action as I previously mentioned is sloppy, poorly orchestrated and unspectacular. The first fight scene was decent before it was interrupted by Heigl and her high pitched squealing, and it all went downhill from there. And the action also completely ruins the romantic aspect. I mean it's impossible to follow, relate to or even just care about this couple and all their problems when their squabbles crammed in between scenes of them brutally murdering all their friends and neighbors. And the one thing which seals it's fate and convinces me it will make my worst of list at the end of the year was the ending. I guessed the ending about 15 minutes in but thought to myself that it was just too stupid to actually be it. Turns out I was right and its a shame that it involved such three great actors... and Ashton Kutcher I guess. Kutcher basically plays the same role as always, which is a terrible thing. Whenever Heigl challenges something ridiculous he does he just says "That's my training". Heigl is not much better and I genuinely think she deserves better roles. She screams and moans a lot which soon gets annoying. And as a pair Kutcher and Heigl were very poor. They weren't funny, charming and they had no chemistry. A lot of the time a rom-coms supporting cast can often save the film but even comedy legends Tom Selleck and Catherine O'Hara, and some more modern stars couldn't muster a laugh. And there's even a disgracefully atrocious and unnecessary cameo from Usher. So all in all this is a truly dreadful film and the more I write about it the more I'm certain it is the years worst film, no easy feat considering what we've been subjected to doth far. The cast deserved better than this as director Luketic tries to make a good action-packed, romantic and funny film and fails in every aspect. The romance is dull and pretentious, the action unexciting and the comedy entirely unfunny and what we are left with, and subjected to can only be described as an ordeal.
