Killerman

This movie had potential. Grit, violence,dirtbag cops, gold bars, drugs and money laundering. I found the plot to be condescending. Amnesia? Seriously? The other drawback was the Cohen kid. He still hasn't mastered the art of acting, and the film suffers because of it.

Killerman is a great movie. Enticing and beautifully filmed, it's a testosterone-loaded adventure. What it lacks in exposition it makes up for in suspense and drama. With several "can't watch but can't look away" scenes, it'll keep you on the edge of your seat. The unexpected twist at the end is genuinely satisfying. I highly recommend!

The premise of the film is a good one, but the writers telegraph the twist much too early, and then just in case you missed it, they do it again and again. Leaving more to the imagination without such blunt actions would have made a better film.

I saw "Killerman", starring Liam Hemsworth-Independence Day:Resurgence, The Expendables 2 and Oh yeah, he is Chris' younger brother and Miley Cyrus' ex husband; Emory Cohen-Lords of Chaos, The Duel; Diane Guerrero-Jane the Virgin_tv, Orange is the New Black_tv and Zlatko Buric-Pusher, 2012. This is a run of the mill, mediocre cops & mob movie. Liam plays a money launderer for the mob. Emory is his buddy that has a few connections and wants to make a big score with Liam's help. Diane is Liam's girlfriend and Zlatko is Emory's uncle-the connection Emory has that will make him rich. When Emory's plans go horribly wrong-ending up in a car crash while being chased by dirty cops-Liam looses his memory. He doesn't even remember Diane. One thing in Liam & Emory's favor is that they have millions of dollars in cash and drugs. One thing not in their favor is that they have dirty cops and the mob wanting the cash and drugs. There is 'surprise' twist near the end but it is not that big of a surprise-more mediocre than anything. It's rated "R" for violence, language, drug material and sexual content-partial nudity-and has a running time of 1 hour & 52 minutes. It's not one that I would buy on DVD. I wouldn't rent it, either. If you really want to see it, I'd wait until it comes to cable.

This movie looks like it was made with drug money. It's just dismal. The acting is back yard acting. The writing is moronic. And the directing is shaky cam all the way. It's real garbage.

He's done this movie before. Was it the one actually set in the 70s, instead of just having that look,where he was a security guard who always wanted to be a cop or the one where he plays a jersey boy trying to hook up with a spoiled uptown brat? Either way Chris' younger brother, as I like to think of him, loves this type of role as the East coast tough kid far too pretty to be that gangster. He's good in that role too, so if you love the ex-mr. Miley Cyrus, it's cool to call him that too, you'll love the movie cause that's what it's all about. Other than that, it's a predictable crime drama that tries to distract you with a lot of empty action sequences. The film has no feeling to it at all. I never get to a place where I have any emotion towards any of the other characters other than Hemsworth's. The film has a cleaver story but you see it coming from the very beginning which screws it up. So like I said, good enough if you're feeling Liam like that. Me, not really.
