Review of Killers (2010) by Markus K — 11 Feb 2012
A very formulaic and predictable romantic comedy from Robert Luketic. Katherine Heigl stars as Jen Kornfeldt, a recently single woman who on a family vacation with her parents (Catherine O'Hara and Tom Selleck) in Nice meets a handsome consultant named Spencer (Ashton Kutcher).
The two fall in love and get married. Although what Jen doesn't know is that Spencer is actually a secret agent for the CIA, who was in Nice on a mission and decided to leave the CIA for her. Three years later, the two are married and have been living a quiet life.
That all changes when Spencer gets a call from his old boss (Martin Mull) warning him that he might be in trouble. The film suffers from many issues. The plot is extremely predictable and preposterous.
At a certain point, you just start thinking that everything is just ridiculous. There is no real chemistry between Heigl and Kutcher, which is never a good sign in a romantic comedy. Finally, the film doesn't really explain plot points very well.
All in all, there are far better romantic comedies you could see if you want to.
