Review of Killers (2010) by Baurushan J — 20 Jan 2013

I've been trying to watch this movie for nearly three years and I finally got the chance to do so. Until I finally watched it, this movie has the critics bitching for the same reasons as The Specialist: formula this, formula that, oh shut up! It's not that formulaic other than the fact that it's predictable and very unfunny like most flawed comedies.

This movie has nothing bad with the formula at all. The story is about Spencer who is a spy and falls in love with Jen and marries her. Three years later, while they are both living their happy life, Spencer finds out on his 30th birthday that someone has put a multi-million-dollar contract on his life and the hired people who are tracking him could be the people close to him.

Time is running out and the race to uncover his gets assassin intensifies with threat lurking in every corner, Spencer needs to get back home safely whilst keeping Jen safe. Yeah I know this movie is predictable, it's pretty much the same with most spy movies these days.

You can pretty much predict the scenes. The only problem with this is that I just wish it was funny. Seriously, It's a comedy and you don't treat it like one. You make it look like a completely different genre even though it's an action movie.

Killers a 8.8/10.
