Pluskylang Great Film overall

Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Winifred The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

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.

michaeltrivedi Started watching Kill List today, and I was actually pretty excited. I was hoping for a heist/crime movie mixed with a good horror ending. I was pretty disappointed.The film started off really good actually, the first 15-20 minutes are fantastic. It depicts the character as a family man, with a beautiful blonde wife and kid. The story has the feel like it had plenty of secrets, and could venture into a great horror tale. But in reality it went nowhere for the next half hour, and that was a half hour too long.The movie went on to depict each kill by the hit-man main character and his buddy, and I think with the British accents I just couldn't get into it. I had to keep turning the volume up to see why I was so not interested.Not worth it, not worth this review. May be good, but don't depend on me to tell you. 3 stars.

Prichards12345 Movies the writers/Director has seen: Get Carter, Harry Brown, Pulp Fiction, Dog Soldiers, The Wicker Man or take your pick of any Mike Leigh film. Kill List tries to have its cake and eat it by being all things to all men, and as a result, all it ends up being is a hotch-potch.This film is so derivative it's almost laughable. After about 25 minutes of "kitchen sink" drama, where the director confuses people shouting at each other for meaningful scenes, this becomes a tale of two hit men paid a lot of money to kill people on a list. The contractor insists on a contract signed in blood, so you already know where this is going straight away.Neil Maskell as Jay has all the charisma and watchablility of a disused gasworks on a wet afternoon. Michael Smiley as his partner Gal is much better, however. In fact he's the only reason I added a couple of stars. He made this travesty into something you could stick with until the end.Realism? Don't make me laugh. Our hit men leave a trail of evidence a mile wide and yet no police feature in this movie at all. In real life they would have been brought in 24 hours after the first murder. It was actually quite funny to watch them put rubber gloves on AFTER they have entered the murder scene. I understand Jay is having mental problems, but he's supposed to be a professional killer. His claw-hammering of one of the people on the list (after a spot of torture - hey that's okay - the victim's a paedophile) leaves blood on him that would be easily traceable even after he's washed it off. But hey, this is "realistic", right? The victims all thank the killers for murdering them. This is supposed to set up the viewer for a sinister surprise. Nope, even when we get to the Satanist/Wiccan/Pagan/take your pick of cults MP it's more silly than convincing.This film was praised by British film critics, largely because we don't have a film industry these days and for anything to get made in this climate of $200 million blockbusters is something of a triumph. But don't be fooled by the pseuds - this is a bad movie, appallingly plotted and with a terrible script. The actors mumble so much I had to turn my t.v. right up to even catch the dialogue! This is the first film I've seen from this director, and I think he may have the talent to do much better with a decent script. He needs to go back to editing school first, though.

El-Kapitoshka Why do all the bad reviewers need answers? Let go. You're not entitled to an explanation just by looking at art. I remember watching this film with a good friend in 2011. We sat there fixated on the screen, enjoying the tight and seemingly ad libbed style and natural rapport between the actors. As it went on, we knew we were in for something a bit special. Gritty, dark and sometimes very violent Kill List managed to keep me thinking about the gobsmacking ending for days afterwards - in short the sign of a great movie for me. It was the first film to ever literally see both me and my friend look at each other, wordless and mouths open when the credits started to roll. But do yourself a favour, clear your mind of all the reviews you have read. Open your mind and enjoy. They don't make many like this roller coaster!
