AnusPresley There are two scenarios here -1. If I went into this film blind of knowledge, I would've been very pleasantly surprised, and2. If I read the hype, I would've felt a bit deflated.The film itself is exceptionally well executed. The story though is a bit confusing and difficult to follow. The conclusion - inexplicable. There are no how's or why's. Just bang. The End. And the "violence" warnings are a bit over-stated. I did enjoy and would recommend. Though it is a head scratcher.
afrodome I'm going to go on record that despite Kill List's disappointing ending,the buildup to the ending i.e. the squeamish rollercoaster ride the viewer is put through save this film from being just another horror flick. The film starts out like an action/thriller/noir where not a single character, not even the main protagonists, have any sort of human decency throughout the entire film. The strange part about Kill List is despite how deplorable all the characters can be, they all have a little zest of charisma which keeps the viewer glued to the screen. The genius part of making the movie scary is that the horror feels so real, so gritty, so grounded...and that's what makes the ending so disappointing to me: did they really have to go full throttle in that direction? I found that the ambiguity that we are left with in most of the movie's runtime is what made it so suspenseful.With that sad, however, it wasn't a bad ending at all, it's just that the buildup to it was so much better that one would expect a bone-chilling tone that made the movie so haunting in the first place. I would still recommend any horror fan to give Kill List a viewing.
The Couchpotatoes Apart of the ending that left me with some questions I thought Kill List was an entertaining movie. I would have scored it slightly more if it was not for the ending. The ending is okay though, it's just that I like clear endings. What starts as a slow movie where you wonder how this will turn into horror or a thriller will end in a pool of violence. The plot is well written with a good amount of violence. Once the hit-man played by Neil Maskell starts his killing spree there is no stop to it. It's quite violent and graphic and that makes the movie even better. The more moderate hit-man played by Michael Smiley tries to control the anger of the other hit-man but it's a lost battle. What follows is a good violent story with enough twists to keep you interested.
tork I cannot undo what I have seen. Scrape it from my memory and return my soul from where it has been taken.This was a suspenseful start with an intrigue lingering to figure out what the hell is going on. The interest and enjoyment of this movie was ended in a plot unnecessary and cruel.Purposeless. I will never return to my eyes and ears to anything made by the director, writers or actors. May all those actors that weren't animals or children rot in hell.I want to hug my children and tell them there are terrible people in this world that will ruin your fun for their own sick purposes.I would watch re-runs of happy days over and over again, post shark jumping episode, for eternity, before ever recommending anyone to view this abhorrent film.
