Un pacte mortel

Director: Michael Greenspan Writers: Christopher Dodd (screenplay), Michael Greenspan (screenplay) Stars: Leah Gibson, Torrance Coombs, Shannon Chan-Kent, Katie Cassidy, Tracy Spiridakos, Donal Logue I've been sitting on Kill for Me for some time and now that I've seen it, I can't believe I almost let this one slip past me. The story is very well written, building up a lot of tension and tying all aspects of the story together to one climatic ending. The pacing was sluggish at first, but after watching it a second time I could see how it works to establish the relationship between Hailey and Amanda. Just when you think you've got this film all figured out, it goes and flips the script on you with a neat little twist. It's not a W.T.F. moment, but it serves its purpose well. Finally the acting truly compliment the film, with everyone bringing their A game to the table. Tracy Spiridakos... I enjoyed your performance in "The Boy She Met Online", but I was completely blown away by your psycho/abused Hailey; she's calculating and unremorseful, yet affectionate and caring. Kudos also goes out to Donal Logue, who played one crafty S.O.B. whom I enjoyed every moment your character was on-screen . Props goes out to Katie Cassidy, who flat out takes the award after that scene where she has to seduce Garret. So damn gorgeous it hurts! In the end, Kill for Me while I was considering not watching you after the first 15 minutes, I'm really glad I stuck with it and I was rewarded with a thriller that's well written, well acted and full of suspense. 8/10

For a thriller then "Kill for Me" wasn't actually that bad. Sure, the storyline was a little bit too far fetched and too extreme, but entertainment-wise, then the movie was good. And most of what made the movie good was the solid acting performances put on by the cast members, because the storyline was not what kept the movie afloat.

The story in "Kill for Me" is about Amanda (played by Katie Cassidy) and Zoe (played by Shannon Chan-Kent) who live together as roommates, but their third roommate, Natalie (played by Leah Gibson), has gone missing. Struggling to make ends meet with rent, Amanda and Zoe get a new roommate, a girl named Hayley (played by Tracy Spiridakos). Amanda is having problems with an abusive ex-boyfriend and Hayley is having problem with an abusive father. Together, the two girls come to an agreement to help one another get rid of the abusing element, however, such an agreement comes with a price.

Yeah, the movie was entertaining enough, although it had a storyline that was just a bit too hard to fully buy into. And the ending, well without revealing anything, I will just say that it was so cliché and so out of nowhere trying to tie up loose ends.

"Kill for Me" is really well acted by all those involved, but especially Tracy Spiridakos put on a great performance in portraying Hayley.

The movie does progress at a nice and steady pace, which was just right, because there wasn't really a dull or boring moment throughout the course of the entire movie.

My 6 out of 10 rating is mostly given the acting performances put on in the movie. The movie doesn't really have enough contents to its storyline to be seen more than once.

Great acting and a series of convoluted of plot twists elevate this movie past the titillating and wishful Hollywood subtext of how "close" incredibly beautiful young women can get when they are in danger.

Watch it. You won't be disappointed.

I just watched this movie and am kind of upset with all these bad comments about it!!

I thought it turned out to be really good, even though it takes a little while for the movie to pick up and get interesting.

There are so many twists and turns, and the ending was a shocker.

The end of the movie summed everything up and made the whole thing 10x better.

It gets intriguing after a while and the acting gets a whole lot better!

So don't just watch 10 minutes of it and shut it off.....watch the entire movie and you will be glad you did! :)

This movie turned out better than I expected !!

(DONT WATCH THE TRAILER...IT SPOILS EVERYTHING!)

I Just wanted to point out that I've just watched this and I'm definitely not in any way involved in the production of it as so many seem to be accusing others of. I'm not reviewing every detail as many have already but I must say Katie Cassidy is absolutely stunning and really puts forth a great performance here as well as the lovely Tracy Spiridakos. I gave it a solid 8. I'm just not sure where these people are getting a 1 from....have they seen what I've just seen? There are far far worse movies out there. Battleship for instance is certainly a horrible movie and deserves a 1. I was thoroughly entertained from start to finish and that's more than I can say about a lot of the other movies I've seen recently. I suggest checking it out. Is it Oscar worthy? No. Is worthy of an hour and a half of your time? Certainly!
