Laugh Killer Laugh (2015)

Sorry, this movie sucks

Simply A Masterpiece

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Kamal Ahmed tried to make an ambitious movie but in my eyes he just failed. Despise William Forsythe that tries to make the movie a bit interesting the rest of the cast doesn't bring much to the movie. And also the story is just too slow and sometimes makes not much sense to make it enjoyable to watch. I even fell asleep for the last five minutes and I even didn't bother to rewind to watch those five minutes over. I couldn't care less how it ended. It's one of those movies you watch once, without much interest, and that you will completely forget about in a month. I'm even going to write the title down so that I don't forget I already watched it and that it wasn't good. Don't want to make the same mistake twice.

So why would the Killer laugh then? How is he funny to misquote a character portrayed by Joe Pesci? Some things you may never get an answer too. But does the title really matter? Maybe it's supposed to be self deprecating, considering the mood our main character is in almost all the time.And we get a really good main actor here with William Forsythe. So the ingredients are good (one Fanboy is ecstatic about this to a point he'd eat up anything he gets served, which is fine, but let's keep our focus on the bigger picture), but the overall result does have some major issues. Mean streets this isn't, mainly because while it is gritty it never captures the quality that movie had. Still if you like decent crime dramas with a low budget, you will have fun with this. Especially because it doesn't choose the route of beautiful (though a bit more quality acting from the other main players would've been helpful)

A cool new way to look at gangster films. A unique twist a solid cast what more could you ask for? This was one I have not only seen once I have watched it a few times. It is very interesting and the more you watch it the more things you will pick up on.... I would love to write in here just what they are, but part of the fun is finding them yourselves. The other is that I do not want to ruin ti for you.... It is a must see film.We often ask for filmmakers to be more original, well here you have it... The Writer/Director has taken us through his own minds eye and the journey is quite a ride... I am getting tired of seeing the same old boring mob movies. Laugh Killer Laugh is not boring and it is not cliché'... You need to watch this one... We need more films like this... Originality please!

As a fan of Film Noir films from the late 40's through late 50's I got what LAUGH KILLER LAUGH was supposed to be. It was part parody,part homage but done with a unique style that added a touch of dark comedy. Skillfully done in the vein of most "noirs" (which were classically done with low budgets to test out potential talent with writers/directors and actors) William Forsythe (FRANK STONE) plays the classic hired introverted gangster that is haunted and abused by memories of his childhood Orphange Caretaker and his current low level hoodlum constituents to the point where Forsythe becomes an almost Emit Kelly the clown type of character that has a perpetual sad face. His transformation to an extroverted mad comedian comes when he awakens from a coma. The beauty of the movie is it takes you on a serpentine ride with story and emotion but never apologizes for not spelling out all the details in exposition. Wonderfully shot in parts of NYC untouched by gentrification,LAUGH KILLER LAUGH takes you on a funny,scary ride to days past when film noirs were the underbelly of Hollywood glamor and glitz.
