SoTrumpBelieve Must See Movie...

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Comeuppance Reviews Reilly (Leach) is an effeminate and super-evil gangster who continually manages to evade the law, so cop Bryant (Fairbrass) hires a hitwoman to kill him in an "off the books" kind of way. The hitwoman in question is Maria (Torgan), and she comes from Italy to England to complete her job. Apparently a lot of British thugs are after Maria as well, and she must use her wiles to dispatch them - but is Bryant behind any double crosses? There are many types of slogs in Direct-to-Video cinema. There's the submarine slog, the airplane slog, the jungle slog, and the spaceship slog, just to name a few. But in the later 90's, a new type of slog emerged: the Tarantino slog. These are Tarantino knockoffs that would not exist if not for that director. They're characterized by a lot of violence, mainly shooting, and plenty of unnecessarily talky dialogue. Well, Killing Time fits the description to a T. Why ANY filmmaker could think they could replace the all-important character development with a lot of blah-blah-blah jawing from the characters is unknown. This way, when any action does occur, you don't really care. In this movie, you don't care about the plight of any of the characters.Another reason for that is that Killing Time is also a classic case of "style over substance". There's almost no substance here, but there is some stylish camera moves, lighting and VHS box art. It just goes to show the old saying about not judging a book by its cover remains true. This movie is just trying so hard to be cool. But because it was the 90's, it's trying to be cool in that super-90's way, and it hasn't aged well. It uses that Portishead song multiple times and has characters either talking about nothing or doing nothing. Thus the pacing is seriously off. This movie has held up about as well as a commercial for "Buzz Cuts", "Buzz Jams", "The Edge" or one of those CD compilations of "edgy" 90's music that you just can't buy in stores, so call now.And the sad part is, we normally love British movies, especially thrillers like this one. But this movie is the aforementioned Tarantino slog, mixed with a knockoff of La Femme Nikita (1990), so, besides the exteriors and a character wearing a Newcastle shirt, this really doesn't feel all that British. Craig Fairbrass does what he can here, but it's tough. He deserves better. In this movie he looks like a cross between Patrick Swayze, Richard Norton and Mel Gibson.Presumably this movie was for Tarantino fanatics, or younger teens "slamming" their cans of Mountain Dew and saying "radical, totally awesome 90's, man". So sadly we cannot recommend Killing Time.For more action insanity, drop by: www.comeuppancereviews.com

innocuous As a cynical take on British gangster movies, this film is highly successful.(***Slight Spoilers!***)Is it unrealistic? Absolutely. One striking thing about this film is that there are absolutely no bystanders to be seen anywhere. Every single person you see on screen, even in the metropolitan areas, is either a part of the action or a victim of the violence. This movie is entirely "extraless". Deserted subway stations, empty streets, and guestless hotel lobbies are the rule. Hotel guests don't complain about gunfire in the hotel, but they do complain about noisy plumbing when a couple cell phones are flushed down the toilet. And the idea of a hit-woman (who would want to be low-profile and unmemorable) who is strikingly beautiful, dressed like a "Matrix" reject, and who speaks absolutely no English even though she has to carry out a hit in England, does not require further comment.Does it have any significant backstory or character development? No...absolutely not. You take the characters as you get them. They are cartoons.Does it demonstrate any moral judgment? Don't worry...nothing challenging in this department either.So why is it worth seeing?Well, it is a fairly pure movie in that it has few pretensions other than to mock certain film conventions. There are some deft touches, including several at the end of the movie. The final shot, with the hit-woman "disappearing" over an extended period, is rather memorable, even if pure film-school.In summary, I have wasted time on supposedly better crime movies (like "The Road to Perdition")and actually enjoyed this film. If you have a chance to see this relatively short and unpretentious movie, I think that you should.

Smile-11 A smart, involving little movie using only three major sets and a tight cast, Killing Time was a movie that I'm planning on checking out again.The twisty story involves the murder of a cop. The cop's partner hires an Italian hit-woman to kill the man who murdered his partner, but he cannot afford her price so he hires another hit man to kill her off. And then the fun begins.The female assassin is interesting and you can't help but root for her as the hit man and his idiot accomplices plan her demise. The title, Killing Time, fits well too as the passage of time is handled well. While the Assassin waits for her chance to kill her mark, she takes baths, learns English from an instructional tape...all the sort of things one might do to pass the time away.An interesting movie where nobody is the good guy. Check it out, for an appealing heroine, realistic gunfighting, and some great catchphrases. Good stuff!
