Killers

1996

Johnny's comments:

I watched it today, no idea what it was even about and well, that was a mistake.

Basically, two notorious teenager brothers who slaughtered their parents escape from prison and hide out in the house of a unexpectedly welcoming family and well, the family has a surprise or two for the brothers.

In isolation that doesn't look like a bad plot, except this movie was made in the mid 90s, so you know what that means; it's heavily influenced by Tarantino. So you get endless monologues of boring bullshit that overwhelms the movie before it ends in a pissweak shoot-out which shows the limitations of the budget. The twist in the middle of the movie was a good change and could've saved this movie but no, how about another monologue about some bullshit nobody cares about. I think this movie could've been the cult hit it desperately wants to be if it played as a genre movie, but it wants to be Natural Born Killers and instead Killers is just absolutely annoying.

It does have a lengthy but poorly edited sex/nude scene featuring cutie Nanette Bianchi playing a teenage girl that is horny for the killers, so something can be salvaged from this bog-awful wannabe. Ugh, just when I'd thought I'd seen all the Tarantino knock-offs...
