I don't understand the numerous, scathing one star reviews here, as quite frankly, this low budget British made movie, shot in a mere 9 days, largely in the Swansea area, is at least worth a watch. OK, it's formulaic and predictable, and some of the acting could have been better, but one star? Really? The musical soundtrack is also OK. Yes, there are most definitely better Vinnie Jones films out there, but he does seem to be typecast not on;y as the cockney hard man, but also often as the avenging, dark force, seeking retribution for crimes against family and friends. So no surprises, as it's a bit more of the same, just in a rather lower key to some of his former "hits". So an averagely watchable verdict from me. I give it 5 out of 10.

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.

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.

I actually like Vinnie. He has done a couple of really good acting jobs. His Brit flicks and I enjoyed him in Midnight Meat Train. Fair enough he never spoke but he was good. He is not as bad as people make out but sadly just gets trash like this nowadays to show what he can do.

A film so bad nobody could even be bothered to write a fake review.

I seem to recall this was done once before and rather well at that. Sadly Vinnie is no Bronson and sadly this has no script either.

Daft as I may sound I think Vinnie could do well if given a decent role in a film that had a decent story and some decent actors in it.

He will never trouble Broadway but deserves better than the garbage he is given.

One day he might well surprise everybody. Sadly this is not his breakthrough role.

So bad we may have to invent a whole new language to articulate our thoughts about such rubbish.

This is a seriously bad film... I really don'y know where to begin whether its the entire premise, the gaping holes in the story, the script, the acting, the effects... well, the everything.

I don't often review but after losing my investment of some 74 minutes in this woeful film I felt the need to warn others.

But first let let me lay down my credentials... I don't act, direct, produce or have any other pre-release involvement in the film industry but I do watch, and this.... is simply not worth watching.

I normally enjoy Vinnie Jones in his stereotypical role of ultra violent vigilante or similar and it was his name that attracted me to the film... but this was hard to stomach. The acting was awful from start to finish and the story wafer thin and generic.

Anyone who gives this more than a 2 has a financial interest in the film.

There are better things to do with your 74 minutes.

Did not want to dislike 'Kill Kane'. It was again not a bad, if not new, premise and Vinnie Jones has given dependable performances in the past. It had potential to work, and would have done with effort being obvious and like those in front of and behind the camera had their hearts in it.

Neither of which can be seen with 'Kill Kane', something that is really quite unforgivable. Have seen worse films, recently and ever, but that doesn't stop 'Kill Kane' from being a very poor film with no redeeming traits and a lot of things done absolutely terribly. There is not much to add to what has been said very well already and the review is at the risk of repeating what has been said. Just for the record, 'Kill Kane' was watched with an open mind and not without the intent or want to dislike, let alone hate, the film, quite the contrary.

All the acting ranges from insipid to terrible, nobody looks engaged or at ease. Jones phones in and lacks vigour and intensity for a role needing both for it to work. In all fairness the characters are clichéd and are never engaging or easy to get behind, didn't care or endear to any of them.

The chemistry is static, likewise with the barely existent direction. The script is from start to finish is a cringe, weep and toe curl-fest with lots of overblown soap-opera melodrama and no depth whatsoever.

Furthermore, the story has no tension or suspense whatsoever, is very lifelessly paced and executes a not particularly new if intriguing idea with no imagination or originality. Basically non-stop indifferent dullness and predictability that takes itself far too seriously to be fun. 'Kill Kane' has a very dreary, one-note and less than slick visual style with well below average visuals and no attempt at authenticity. The sound is monotonous and over obvious, while the lighting lacks atmosphere and consistently and the photography lacks focus and often static in the more dramatic scenes.

In conclusion, awful with a noticeable lack of effort. 1/10 Bethany Cox

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.

Nice to see most of the user reviews for this title have been posted by people in countries where the film isn't even out yet. Way to go supporting independent film, not.

This is an exceptionally well made film considering the obviously low budget and the fact that it was filmed in just 9 days (according to the trivia section at least). That's as indie as indie gets and it's pretty shocking that the guys behind this managed to make a such an ambitious movie in such a short time frame, especially one that's both coherent and looks more expensive than I'm sure you'd assume from whatever the budget was.

Some very good performances from a cast i'm mostly unfamiliar with. Vinnie Jones is good at doing what he does best, being a hard looking SOB who takes no prisoners. It's refreshing to see him in a good guy role - especially in a lead too for once, but sometimes he's a bit unconvincing when showing his softer side.

I'm still mightily impressed how these guys shot a full length movie in less than two weeks but the proof is in the pudding. An at times gripping and suspenseful film with some great lines and well structured action scenes.

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!

I cannot agree with those that have gone before! Remember that, as it says in the trivia, this was shot in only 9 days, and this must be taken into account when judging a low-budget movie like this. There are bits that might have been better handled differently, but it is an action movie that hits the right spot. The acting is convincing and of a high standard, the stress to the family of their impending destruction being very real in those scenes. It is great to see the overdue return of Nicole Faraday to the screen! So, in summary

the ingredients are right

the acting is top rate

the suspense is gripping

What's not to like? It will be a great pleasure to see further productions from this team, who clearly show great promise.

Let's not forget, this is a feature film with some top actors shot on nearly zero budget in 9 days. Given all this I think the film deserves some credit and respect

The script could have been better but there was good suspense and the performances, especially from Sean Cronin as the tittle role "Kane" was very strong and sharp. And Vinnie Jones plays a good guy in this one - surprised by that one!

Hats of to them, these guys are troopers - they did a great job for passion not the money, something that needs to be valued.

Looking forward to seeing more films from these people!

What did all these very negative critics expect? Shakespeare or a French Film-Noir-Movie?

This is a cold and straight revenge movie, easily to find out before bothering watching.

Within the genre it is superb. Without squiggle, psycho-crap or political message, but within the best tradition of hard-boiled English gangster movies.

If you like these kind of movies, watch it.
