When hapless, easygoing Mike is hired as a hit man, he asks his old friend, ex-soldier Sean, to assist him. But as the two men monitor their target and move towards a bloody, funny (and bloody funny) climax, it becomes apparent that Sean may be more of a liability than an asset.
ive got a plan he said. well its sure did get twisted at the end. i thought it dragged a bit at the start. but it got my attention about midway, a surprizing end and well worth the wait.
This movie is absolutely brilliant! The script is reminiscent of a Harold Pinter play. It just goes to prove that you don't need a huge cast and loads of cash to make a great film. Where has this gem been hiding? How it hasn't won awards is beyond me.
'The Killers' is a real find. An intelligent and witty script that is excellently played by an all strong cast. The darkly humorous narrative accompanied by Hitchcockian music is entertaining and compelling. Ian Attfield and Matthew Jure's performances as the unlikely hitmen make for an hilarious comedy duo. Jure's portrayal of the hapless Mike is simply brilliant. He is an extraordinary comic talent. A great film brimming with talent and flair. Highly recommended. *****
Loved it. Great tension between the main characters. Matthew Jure is unintentionally hilarious as the hapless hitman, a likeable and believable loser - loved his psycho partner and bitchy girlfriend, too. You kind of felt for him as it unfolded.
