Kill Kane

In a derivative story of suburban violence| family man Ray Brookes(AKA The voice of Mr. Ben) seeks revenge when his wife and children are murdered by infamous gangsters (Brian Kant and Floella Benjamin). Unable to place his order for chips with curry sauce he is left with no faith in the justice system and with nothing left to lose except 74 minutes of low quality 'entertainment' he turns vigilante, crazy ape bonkers, bat-sh*t but not the other cheek and stalks the streets like some kind of cockney leopard on the hunt for those who robbed him of a future as a football pundit.

Watch this movie or have your colon cleansed, the choice is yours.

This is a lethal dose of horrendous acting, crippling pace and horrible script bundled into one. Usually B-movies, the type where Vinnie Jones dabbles in for these recent years, can at least be appreciated for their silly antics or embellished action. However, "Kill Kane" can barely produce basic elements of actual movie, which makes it terribly cheap and utterly boring to witness.

Using vengeance theme, Vinnie Jones is on the warpath to avenge his family. It's all presented in two interweaving timelines, one where he is on a rampage, and the other one where the deed happens, as though regular narrative is not complex enough for the refined production. There's no way to sugarcoat this, the acting is so poor, none of the characters even remotely seem believable.

Everyone acts in a heinous outlandish soap opera manner, while also manage to seemingly reading from a teleprompter as they gaze randomly. It often shows ridiculous scenes of people shouting in profanity, yelling useless banter or just Vinnie Jones doing solemn musing. As a lead, he does try, but the performance is rigid at best. This doesn't create any semblance of connection, and the insipid script gives no aid whatsoever.

Action is practically a couple of people skulking around in random alley or room, firing toy weapon and thus trying to pass Betadine spill as gunshot wound. It has no structure beyond this come and shoot. The setting isn't portrayed well either, lighting would pan inconsistently or the shot would linger needlessly on weird expression. Furthermore, it tries to create emotional tension on the supposed important dramatic scene, yet the acting ruins even this.

The movie will kill only good mood one has when watching it. This one should just be avoided like real life bullet.

Review: This is another one of those cheap, "straight to DVD" movies from Vinnie Jones, which will be quickly forgotten. He plays a happily married, family man who witnesses a murder, which is committed by a bunch of gangsters, in the middle of nowhere. The gangsters then set out to make sure there wasn't any witnesses to the crime, and they brutally murder Ray Brookes (Vinnie Jones), family, right in front of him. The leader of the gang, Kane Keegan (Sean Cronin), thinks that he has killed Ray but he manages to survive, and he sets out to get revenge. That is the basic gist of the storyline! Vinnie Jones is playing his usual "tough nut" type of role, with a cockney accent, and the rest of the cast, put in pretty poor performances. I can totally understand why Vinnie Jones went on a killing spree but what shocked me was that the gangsters that he was killing, didn't seem to care that he survived and had a gun pointed to there heads. Anyway, I personally didn't think that it was that great and it just goes down as another badly made movie, by Vinnie Jones. Maybe he should go back to playing football! Disappointing!

Round-Up: It's obvious that Vinnie Jones, 51, only stars in these terrible movies to pay bills, because he honestly can't think that these low budget movies are going to do his career any good. His first taste of stardom in big movies like X-Men: The Last Stand, Swordfish, Snatch, Lock Stock, Gone in 60 Seconds etc, really does seem long ago now, and his acting skills haven't really progressed since he became an household name, after his great performance in Lock Stock in 1998. Anyway, it might do him some good if he changes his agent because these movies are going from bad to worse. This is the first major release from Adam Stephen Kelly, who also wrote this movie, which doesn't say a lot about his script writing skills. For his first major project, it's passable but the sketchy script really wasn't that great.

I recommend this movie to people who are into their crime/thrillers starring Vinnie Jones, Nicole Faraday, Sebastian Street, Sean Cronin and Dan Richardson. 2/10

This is total bilge of the highest order! Absolutely terrible...beyond any redemption! Horrendously-bad actors and actresses...and script, (insult to the word "script', tbh)! If this was a school production, during my secondary school days, it would have been laughed off the stage! 5 year olds would not have acted so badly! I have always liked Vinnie, but I sense his pay for this was a vast majority of the £75K budget for the whole production! He deserves it, as money for service to an excuse for a movie, 9 days or 9 months to make this, but 9 years could not save this poor excuse for a movie!

Watched this at a friends house and it was cardboard acting at its worse. Should be called "Vinnie Jones Killed This Movie"

Not even worth reviewing due to the fact the movie lacked any substance and weak acting abilities to keep me focused.

The story was the same old done over time and time again in many other films and Jones with his typical hard man act that has been done to death.. The small amount of cast speaks volumes and that this was done on a tight budget so therefore justified going straight to DVD..

I found myself drifting off in the first 30 minuets from the start but managed to suffer it until the end. Unless you are a fan of Vinnie Jones films then i would spend your money on a far better movie than Kill Kane.

Verdict: Do not bother watching.
