Review of Killing Zoe (1993) by John C — 28 Aug 2011

This movie owes shit, jack-shit, to Tarantino. Just because Tarantino can hire better DP's and actors critics love to trash Avary. Clearly Mr. Avary is not a level-headed person (who doesn't miss the jailhouse tweets?) as was seen when he adapted a book with no plot, characters, theme, message, or anything that might classify pages of writing as a complete novel ('The Rules of Attraction") let alone something to adapt but kooky Avary found a way to adapt it so all I am saying is to leave any sanity at the door.

If you enjoy dirty looking films that somehow make Paris look not that beautiful and if you enjoy movies about junkies with their oh-so-wonderful schemes they plot out and actually commit while high when, of course, shit hits the fan and everyone is too fucked up to properly handle a thing, 'KIlling Zoe' is the fun and crazy, like the characters but more to the point, like the director, movie for you.
