Cult Killer

I started watching this for Antonio Banderas. With such a title as CULT KILLER I expected a riveting thriller with lots of suspenseful plot turns and thrilling attacks. NONE of that.

The bad; this movie just toddles along. Gently like a stream. Completely void of any real thrill or drama. Antonio Banderas has only got a supporting role, in which he is mumbling all sorts of jibberish to the leading actress ( a "determined" cop) who supposedly is THE person to solve a crime.

What we get to see is not terribly bad, it's not a B-movie for sure, but folks expecting a thriller or crime drama better pass this one by.

The idea and concept of the movie are noteworthy, but the overall execution leaves a certain amount of disappointment.

The film strives to be tense and keep the viewer in constant suspense, but does not always achieve this due to uneven plotting and episodes that sometimes drag on.

Nevertheless, the film has some interesting moments and stylish visuals that give it a certain uniqueness.

The film does not lose its charm, although its realization could have been stronger.

Cult Killer is a movie worth watching if you are ready for an experimental approach and are not afraid of some flaws.

6/10.

I just does not work. You have solid actors which can definitely deliver and s script/story which seems ok adequate but the whole movie has the overall aesthetic of a lackluster filler episode from a bad television series.

The visuals, cinematography, and overall production design lack anything close to what I would expect in a film.

The character interactions are filmed so badly it feels like a documentary with people who really don't want to be there.

The most disheartening aspect is that I like all the main actors but felt that the film falls so short of its potential. The execution and overall presentation leave much to be desired.

I thought Antonio Banderas would be the silver lining in this cinematic trainwreck, but oh boy, was I wrong! Cult Killer is so atrocious, even Banderas's dashing presence can't rescue it from the depths of awfulness. I mean, it's like watching a car crash in slow motion while being forced to listen to elevator music. "I swear, Cult Killer is like a bad joke that just won't end. The plot is more convoluted than a Gordian knot, the acting is wooden enough to build a forest, and don't even get me started on the dialogue - it's cringier than a teenager's first Instagram selfie. Even Banderas, bless his heart, looks like he's trying to escape the movie's clutches like a cat trying to flee a bathtub.

Save yourself, folks, and avoid this disaster at all costs! 🚫🎥 #CultKiller #BanderasBomb.

I dare to say that Cult Killer will never be considered anything near the league of cult movies; instead, it will quickly be forgotten and fall into the void of total oblivion - and rightfully so. The production is okay, the cast is okayish too, but the story is, well, I can't put it better than a fellow reviewer did: it beats staring at the wallpaper. One could rightfully argue that there are more interesting and captivating wallpapers around that surpass Cult Killer's entertainment value, but I don't want to be too petty on the issue. What you get are super tough ladies (like in almost every movie these days) and a plot on auto-pilot. Verdict: only recommended if you have an ultra-boring wallpaper on your walls and not the ambition to change that fact and watch rather some redundant flick instead.
