Kill Ben Lyk

I will say, excellent for what appears to be a lower budget production. With very few scenes to work with, you made a very excellent movie. The plot felt complete, it was entertaining to watch, however, some characters warranted some more development. Particularly the main character, who is revealed as egotistical, but besides that, has not many more character traits. He occupies plenty of screen-time yet he lacks in dimension. Often he is repeating similar behaviors, and not contributing much of anything positive to the story line. This makes the character exhausting, degrading the plot,; however, other characters fill in this void and become much more significant to the plot. In terms of comical value, the comedy is not well placed, it feels repetitive, and hurts the thriller and mystery aspect of this movie. The movie felt casual, not much got my eye, and with very little connection to the characters, the target genre seemed unapparent. Overall, enjoyable? Yes. Memorable? No.

I'm as up for a jolly good British comedy as the next person, think Hot Fuzz. But this one's lame and mouldy. Premise is that there are many guys called Ben Lyk in London and someone's out to get them all. May have been a story for a madcap comedy but falls really short of even that ambitious aim. Strictly if you have absolutely nothing to do and need a downer.

I'm not sure what happened to British comedy ("cough....woke") but humour is no longer their strong suit.

"Kill Ben Lyk" isn't funny. Its premise and characters follow a predictable tired trajectory, accompanied by hackneyed humour, that's simply put, unintelligent and boring.

I managed about thirty minutes before giving up. The acting is fine but so much else is uninspired, there is little left to say.

May suit the easy pleased but, I suspect, it will irritate the discerning.

3/10.

I've heard the term "it's so bad it's actually good", but I could never make sense of it... until now. This movie is so weird I ended up enjoying it completely, with its twisted plot and oddball characters. Not quite Guy Ritchie, but it has similar vibes.

To be honest, maybe it's due to the other reviews that I went in with expecting nothing, but I thought it was an entertaining movie. Yeah, the main character is obnoxious, but that's the whole point. Could it have been better? Ofcourse it could have, hell even the Marvel movies could have been MUCH better..

Just watch it as the movie it is, a popcorn movie without any real meaning. If you can watch it on something like Netflix or Primevideo, go ahead.
