icetech I love odd movies..and i really liked this one.. The role was perfect for William Forsythe and he perfect for the roll.. Some people will take issue with the way it was filmed, it's grainy. It's gritty.. The acting was really good. And William really seemed to get into the roll. Best part.. NO COMIC BOOK CRAP!!! I can't be the only one sick of comic book movies being the only real option? Even if it weren't for that i would still like this movie a lot..The only downsides are that i think it could be cut down 15-20 minutes and still be good.. but it wasn't draining.. just a touch slow about 3/4 through.. And i hated arti lange showing up.. i have issues with junkies being handed the world and throwing it away.. let alone not being funny at all when that is supposed to be your job.. But he is only in it for a few seconds.. so no biggy :) If they could figure a convincing sequel i would gladly watch it:) I think William has gotten to an age that he could play a VERY good detective ala Sam Spade. but i am digressing.P.S. wish i could buy the car they used for him in this.. LOVE it :)

ogreaterone A cool new way to look at gangster films. A unique twist a solid cast what more could you ask for? This was one I have not only seen once I have watched it a few times. It is very interesting and the more you watch it the more things you will pick up on.... I would love to write in here just what they are, but part of the fun is finding them yourselves. The other is that I do not want to ruin ti for you.... It is a must see film.We often ask for filmmakers to be more original, well here you have it... The Writer/Director has taken us through his own minds eye and the journey is quite a ride... I am getting tired of seeing the same old boring mob movies. Laugh Killer Laugh is not boring and it is not cliché'... You need to watch this one... We need more films like this... Originality please!

cbsilvercat As a fan of Film Noir films from the late 40's through late 50's I got what LAUGH KILLER LAUGH was supposed to be. It was part parody,part homage but done with a unique style that added a touch of dark comedy. Skillfully done in the vein of most "noirs" (which were classically done with low budgets to test out potential talent with writers/directors and actors) William Forsythe (FRANK STONE) plays the classic hired introverted gangster that is haunted and abused by memories of his childhood Orphange Caretaker and his current low level hoodlum constituents to the point where Forsythe becomes an almost Emit Kelly the clown type of character that has a perpetual sad face. His transformation to an extroverted mad comedian comes when he awakens from a coma. The beauty of the movie is it takes you on a serpentine ride with story and emotion but never apologizes for not spelling out all the details in exposition. Wonderfully shot in parts of NYC untouched by gentrification,LAUGH KILLER LAUGH takes you on a funny,scary ride to days past when film noirs were the underbelly of Hollywood glamor and glitz.

dannynsk Laugh Killer Laugh stars William Forsythe as a jewel thief with absolutely no sense of humor or personality. Forsythe's character, Frank Stone, grew up an orphan and was abused as a child. With no family or friends, he just pulls jobs, kills anyone that gets in his way, and is a good earner for the Mob guys that keep him busy.Eventually, his interest in a girl and opening up about himself for the first time gets him into trouble with his employer, who decides they no longer need his services. After spending some time in a coma, Stone awakens with not just a sense of humor, but as a guy with no sense at all. He goes after his ex-employer's crew, but now with a different outlook on life and death.The cast is brilliant and one of the best roles in the film is the Orphanage Headmaster played by Tom Sizemore. I also really liked Jackie, the love interest played by Bianca Hunter, and the Mafia enforcer who is played by Larry Romano from King of Queens. There are tons of small roles as well, played by actors like Kevin Corrigan, Artie Lange, James Lorenz and even Angel Salazar of Scarface (1983) and Carlito's Way (1993). Laugh Killer Laugh is an instant revenge classic that leaves you cheering for the anti-hero. It's a disturbing yet endearing film loaded with violence, vengeance and a bunch of laughs along the way.From The Mega Book of Revenge Films Vol. 1: The Big Payback
