Sci-fi_princess My husband and I nearly switched off after 15 minutes and then wished we hadn't bothered watching by the time the film ended. There were a couple of moments that made us laugh in themselves and I guess some of the characters were interesting. If gory details are your thing then you might like it, but not for me.I found myself getting a bit annoyed with the main character and not in a good way. The key factor of his personality is shallowness and he's purely driven to satisfy his own ends, but I felt this led the character to be completely two dimensional and boring. The other characters were quite good though, it's a shame most of them don't come out so well by the end. This is described as a black comedy, but there wasn't enough comedy for me. Maybe you actually need to be part of that industry to find it funny.The main complaint I have is that the title suggests lots of killing of people who might be considered friends. We found the killing to be rather lacking. If they had been his friends at least there would have been some emotional dilemma, which may have improved this film.It could have been so much funnier than it was.
Gordon-11 This Film tells the story of a record industry talent scout in the 1990's London, who stops at nothing when it comes to career advancement.Firstly, the music in the film is great because those songs are the songs I grew listening to. Hearing relatively non hit tracks such as "The Private Psychedelic Wheel", or other big hits like "Encore Une Fois" brings back memories of those great years!Nicholas Hoult is insanely handsome in this film. He's charming and likable even though his character is reminiscent of "American Psycho". That's what make the film very interesting and engaging. I really enjoyed it.
Seth_Rogue_One Pretty slick dark comedy a bit similar to American Psycho but set in the British music-scene circa 1997 about a A&R man who'll do anything to get a new hit.Nicholas Hoult does really well in the lead I thought, doing something really different to anything I've seen him in before which mostly have been American films.It doesn't have any likable characters but it doesn't really need to, that's not really what this movie is about after all it's a (extreme) satire on the music-business and if you are aware of the 90's music-scene you can easily tell some groups that are being poked fun of, but mostly it's about the people behind the scenes.I can't really say too much more about it than that as I might end up spoiling something, but yeah it's a pretty cool flick, fairly fast paced and with a rocking 90's soundtrack to match.
jozii89 I've been a fan of Nicholas Hoult since his Skins days, in my opinion the best written TV series ever! A part of what I like bout Skins is clearly visible in "Kill your friends" as well.I'm particularly talking about how emotions are portrayed through sound-less party scenes or quiet shots with slower music of busy city life. Contrasts. On the surface, this movie is very much about sex and drugs. But it's really about ambition and life choices.I also enjoyed the 90's music selection and the fact that the title of the movie makes sense and is over-the-top, but without turning the movie into some silly parody of itself.
