Um Fim de Semana de Matar

This was much better than I expected it to be. While there's not much to get excited about from the dialogue and more jokes hit than miss, the interplay between characters makes up for this as you believe they are a real friend group in over their heads, even if they do settle into the reality of their situation a bit too quickly (but that's true of many, many movies). Keith from The Office and Brian from Spaced carry most of their scenes and hold everything together, and this is balanced out by two strong performances in the antagonist camp in a crowd of otherwise unforgettable baddies.

There's a few strong moments that are genuinely laugh out loud, and that's more than I expected. Best of all is the sub 90 minutes running length, this film does not outstay its welcome. Had they tried to pad the material out to 2 hours, the film would have suffered.

"Fubar" (aka "Killer Weekend") was a movie that came into existence without my knowledge, and I happened to stumble upon it by random luck in 2019. And now that I've seen the movie, I can honestly say that the movie will equally silently and unnoticeably return into obscurity.

This movie was bland. Writers Ben Kent and Joel Wilenius attempted to come up with something that would mix horror and comedy, I suppose. But the finished result was one that was mediocre. I can't claim that I was particularly amused with what transpired on the screen and I definitely wasn't laughing. Nor was it enough in the horror lane to actually be interesting enough to watch.

However, I managed to endure "Fubar" to the end, hoping that the movie would pick up along the way and become better. But it just never did, so no thumbs up for director Ben Kent here.

The characters in the movie were bland and you didn't really care much about what happened to them, and that was a terrible blow to the movie, because there definitely was some potential to it.

The storyline of the movie wasn't particularly innovative or overwhelmingly interesting to me, so it only made for a mediocre watching. I sat through it to the end, but I will never watch the movie a second time.

Killer weekend might not win any awards and something I suspected would happen in this film didnt, but I enjoyed this throughout. Miles is going on a stag do with his mates, including his soon to be father in law, played by the great mark heap. But really they are going paint balling which is set as if a zombie apocalypse has happened. It starts normally and there are some pretty funny parts but all things go to hell in a hand basket after miles makes a mistake and now the soliders dressed as fake zombies might really be a threat. I thought it was paced well. Good action and a decent enough story to make it enjoyable.

Mark Heap saves this from a very poor film to just a poor film.

Unoriginal script reads like a poor man's "Tucker & Dale Vs Evil", some almost passable blood effects but terrible acting. ........ especially from the 'large' guy from UK The Office who's acting is so wooden I'm surprised someone didn't get a splinter.....and the Brother in law who came across as so camp I thought the twist would be he's gay.

If a Mark Heap fan then you may get some enjoyment out if it, it not then don't rush to see it. Unlikeable characters who you pray would die.

The writers seem to be fans of "Very Bad Things," which is a very bad movie. This one is somewhat similarly mean-spirited, but in a classy British way. It was good on the character side and had some decent plot twists. Some of the good jokes are subtle, requiring close attention. Others, though, are not subtle at all -- and more delicate viewers might regret having seen. It seems to have many titles. The one I saw was "Game Over."
