The Kills

About This Movie

The Kills is a wild ride, blending action and comedy with a crime backdrop that feels gritty yet oddly humorous. Jonathan Niederer crafts a chaotic universe where our hitwoman protagonist feels both tough and vulnerable. The pacing is brisk, keeping you engaged as she bounces from one dangerous situation to another, all while trying to scrape together cash for her bar in Mexico. The film features some solid practical effects that give the violence a raw edge, which feels refreshing compared to overdone CGI. The performances are solid, especially the lead, who manages to bring depth to a character that's often just a punchline in similar films. It’s distinct for its unfiltered approach to the life of a hitwoman, and that blend of humor with serious stakes is what sets it apart.
