Killerman

Strong performances, intimidating villains, claustrophobic situations; this level of authenticity is very seldom (if ever) found in Hollywood where they go for safe and cheap thrills. There's no superheroes here, no easy resolutions, no good guys. It's all gritty and grey and asphyxiating in its determination to drive the plot forward without relying on the usual stupid (albeit entertaining) tropes.

Somehow, in this age when we've already seen all there's to be seen in such a thoroughly explored genre as this (crime, drugs, gangs), this movie still manages to deliver and I applaud it.

All in all, Realistic: 8, Immersive: 8, Entertaining: 5, Resourceful: 7, Suspenseful: 7.

Nooo Spoilers!! So Listen up people.. This is one of the very very decent thrillers that has come out in the past 12 months and trust me there has been very few that are well done and when I say we'll done I mean an original story that on its own could keep you on the edge of your seat if someone just told you about it just verbally!!! The story is the movie for me and then comes level of execution relative to the budget thats how I rate them and this one for me gets a straight 7 in that Genre and I rate movies based on Genres and intentions of the movie plus excution ofcourse for how many decent stories were ruined by film makers!!! This is very decent indeed and original and those who say its slow are not appreciating or understanding the idea of the story which is lame to me... Anyways go see it and I know if you are a smart viewer who has seen them all like me you'll definitely enjoy this one considering it's just above small budget but professionally done giving it the kick it needed!

Extreme violence and some confusing plot elements in this crime thriller, but it did keep me engaged throughout with its air of menace.

Liam Hemsworth stars as Moe Diamond, a jeweler and money launderer, whose friend Skunk (Emory Cohen) has hooked him up with some jobs for his mobster uncle (Zlatko Buric). However, Moe and Skunk decide to do a multi million dollar drug deal on the side which goes terribly wrong and all kinds of mayhem will ensue. The twists at the end just add to all the wild and crazy happenings.

Overall, if you don't mind the over-the-top violence, the explicit language, or some confusing plot elements the film did keep me engrossed throughout.

I gave it a '7' because I don't think it was a waste of time at all. It was relatively fast-paced, violent, intense, with good acting and cinematography all around. 'Scarface' it ain't, but that's not what 'Killerman' was attempting to be. Just a solid popcorn urban drug flick to spend 90 minutes with. Worth your while.

He's done this movie before. Was it the one actually set in the 70s, instead of just having that look,where he was a security guard who always wanted to be a cop or the one where he plays a jersey boy trying to hook up with a spoiled uptown brat? Either way Chris' younger brother, as I like to think of him, loves this type of role as the East coast tough kid far too pretty to be that gangster. He's good in that role too, so if you love the ex-mr. Miley Cyrus, it's cool to call him that too, you'll love the movie cause that's what it's all about. Other than that, it's a predictable crime drama that tries to distract you with a lot of empty action sequences. The film has no feeling to it at all. I never get to a place where I have any emotion towards any of the other characters other than Hemsworth's. The film has a cleaver story but you see it coming from the very beginning which screws it up. So like I said, good enough if you're feeling Liam like that. Me, not really.
