The Killing Floor

Blucas went to the same high school I did, and so, in some rare act of hometown patriotism, I figured I'd check it out. I expected crap, not being a fan of the whole Buffy thing and not really seeing him in anything else. But I was pretty surprised, I really enjoyed the movie. Blucas's acting was quite good, and really shined through during the more intense moments. I had something of an idea of the ending of the movie early on in the film, but the actual ending still held a few surprises.

The rest of the movie was pretty good as well. Nobody really had terrific acting, but nobody did a bad job either. The production could have been a little better, no major flaws to point out, just, you could tell it wasn't a big-budget movie. I'd rank is above a "B" movie, but not by a whole whole lot.

Now that I look, the movie has no listed rating yet, but I think it'll definitely receive and R purely for language. What bothers me about that, and it by no means hurt the movie, but it irked me, was that with all the F-bombs being thrown around, there isn't even an ass through the entire movie (even during the sex scene). Also, aside from a few very mild fights, there really is no blood or gore or anything like that either. If you're going to go for an R rating, why not go all the way? By removing half a dozen curses, they probably could have gotten away with PG-13, but they didn't, so why skimp on all the other R-rated perks? Overall, I would for sure recommend watching it if you get the chance. Pretty decent flick.

Cheers.

This movie really entertained me and kept me thinking all the way to the end, unfortunately all that let the film down were the obviously tight funds expended to make this film.

I think the lead roles were played well but the policeman really let it down I think.

Otherwise, as I said really good story.

Other than this small but resounding problem I think the film was a really good attempt at the originally story although I think the book would be better.

Love Me

A success and very busy literary agent (David) who has just bought a great penthouse apartment, runs into a strange scenario: someone is stalking him and that really drives him crazy! As the action goes on, he discovers that someone documented his moves quite precisely and that he's rather exposed to the attacker's will.

David is a sporty, strong, determined guy, who unfortunately has to let go his emotional part... In his conception, if you're not straight-forward you can't "make him care". But this determination is his very downfall.

The movie has some interesting twists, the male character is quite dynamic, surprising and rather intelligent. All his interactions are thrilling to watch, so you'll get attracted to the story. All his dialogs with women will at least make you smile.

The actual pulse of this movie is not that high. I sometimes felt that we learn some things that aren't important to the plot. Things get worse as the story advances. Strangely, I think the best part of this movie is the ending. Like in most modern movies, the last 5 minutes reveal everything that you couldn't put together during the story. And get ready for something really surprising.

Another thing to mention in this movie is the soundtrack. Not very spectacular, but perfectly fitting the action.

Gave the movie 8/10 and I definitely consider this one a good way to spend 1h and a half. Try it, it might make you think about people you tend to overlook :)

(This is 3 paragraphs to long!) It's not often when you get such a thriller that pulls you in and make's sure you don't fall out and The Killing Floor manages just that. I didn't expect anything to come out of this film just as most would but, surprisingly, it was fairly entreating and good. Yes, a B-Film but, a good one with a good actors. It sticks to it's B-Movie root's and it's a delight the whole time.

If you want a good movie this is for you. This movie is movie is not a horror and if you are looking for one to watch don't watch this, it's not scary and your hopes will only be let done. This is a movie for the thinker, so if your head hurts a lot when you think, you shouldn't be watching this, but, if you're looking for a good movie, I recommend this to you.

The finale twist is absolutely stunning, not only are you not trying to smile at the devious and twisted thing that is going on but, you're wonder how the title character didn't see that coming. All together this movie makes a great thriller. I would recommend this to anyone who like's suspense, and wants something to just sit down to watch for fun, and someone who is in the mood to put a puzzle together.

(But please, don't take my word for it)

The beginning of the film is quite decent with a lot of potential. However the story quickly dissolves into several "suspenseful" misdirections which are mildly entertaining yet predictable.

Marc Blucas plays a young, handsome and rich literary agent. The casting of Blucas for this role was a poor decision. Not because he's not a good actor; he's just not a believable yuppie bookworm. I did like that Blucas' character wasn't afraid of the dark and wasn't jumping at every strange sound or seeing things.

The end is predictable although the writers didn't think so as the ending is supposed to leave you in shock. All it left me was bored and glad to hit the stop button.
