Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

jbix909 Wow,Scott Wolf kept reminding me of Michael J Fox for some reason. He was OK, but made an intelligent if sort of wimpy detective. I think they should have played a little more towards his brilliance as a crime solver than they did. This movie was actually pretty good. With a few tweaks though it could have been great. You know the story from the other reviews here. The newly promoted detective finds out he's dying so he hires a hit man (Roth) to kill him. Meanwhile an exciting story that tracks a serial killer is in the background. It's pretty good, but as I said, it could have been really good with a couple tweaks in the script and the movie making. It perhaps would have been better with more closure than it had.I wish I had a quarter for every time a cop says "Don't Move, put your hands on your head and don't move". Then the perp runs off and escapes. I mean if you point a weapon at someone be prepared to shoot him, or at least fire some warning shots at him. The guy puts his hands up then runs, and what does the cop do? Nothing, and runs after him, only to lose him. I always wind up yelling c'mon stupid, shoot him, shoot him, but I guess the movie is more exciting for people when it's not realistic. Six stars out of ten.

brent_barnhill This movie had some twists in it that kept you on your toes but other than that...it was a boring movie in my opinion. The main character Emmett, played by Scott Wolf was new to me. He didn't seem to act well and seemed like he just got out of college into acting school.What would you do if you were dying? Would you even go to all that trouble...? At least the DVD has some deleted footage. Besides that, I would only rent the movie if you want some unrealistic drama with little action and poor acting.Even the DVD & Movie Guide book rates the movie 3 out of 5 stars. No wonder why everyone is selling this movie cheap...it is because it doesn't capture your attention in a way you would remember it and make your jaw drop.

Mike As I said in the summary line, in the end of the movie when the screen went black, had I not paid so much for my TV and if I knew it would have done good, I would have thrown something at it. Instead I'm left yelling, "Aaaaaaarrrrrhhhhh, no way are they going to leave it like that!!!!" Not that the movie was great, but it should have been, so sometimes I have a feeling of hope that a movie like this could at some point take a turn for the better, and really get to the level it should have been. Instead they leave you feeling empty about so many different things in the movie, yes a lot did tie together but there could have been so much more.

George Parker There's little to praise and much to fault about "Killing Emmett Young" as it was entitled on cable. An old story about a cop with a terminal illness who hires a 3rd party hitman to kill him so he won't suffer and then learns the lab screwed up his blood test results and he's really not going to die...at least not from the disease. He tries desperately to call off the hit but the middleman is terminally unavailable. Etc. This uninspired indie seems to be little more than a paycheck for some good actors who dutifully go through the requisite motions. However, there is some interconnectedness between characters and subplots capable of whetting interest which may be sufficient to make this flick couch potato fodder. Worth Tivo'ing where the investment is minimal and the delete button is only a thumb away. (C+)
