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.

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."

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.

First things first: this is more fun than it has any right to be. The story is pretty simple. A last fun trip before marriage with the bros ... and the father in law of course as a major part. The dynamic and chemistry is set pretty early on. And while that may sound like cliche (relationships to each other), they all play out nicely.

Actually better than nicely. This is so much fun, I was kind of surprised. It is very well acted, you get many fun moments (especially if you are not easily offended, this is comedy after all and it does not take prisoners - quite literally at times). This was one of the best comedies I saw last year and I can only recommend it - the fun is shining through to the viewer in a big way

Some of the reviews I've seen on here are pretty sad. This I a very low budget film made by a young British writer/director who got off his backside and made a movie. How about some of you 'armchair critics' try doing something with your lives instead of pouring scorn over a group of young film makers learning their trade. Mark Heap Tim Faraday been in high end films but they seemed equally at home and happy in this! Well done Ben Kent!!
