Kill for Me (2013)

Instant Favorite.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Two roommates with abusive men in their pasts consider murder as an option to help settle each other's problems. Kill for Me packs 2 really good leading performances by Katie Cassidy (Arrow) and Tracy Spiridakos (Revolution) unfortunately that's the only positive thing about the film because this Thriller suffers from flat characters and a thin plot plus a slow pacing that simply makes the movie drag way more than it should. It also has the typical dumb moments that every single thriller has this days and the ending could been better but like i said the 2 leading women try their best but the script is just not that great it's for sure not a complete disaster but it's not a masterpiece either. (5.5/10)

This is not a run of the mill thriller. There are some surprising twists and turns and it is well directed with a good pace and suitably mysterious atmosphere.The watchable cast includes Katie Cassidy of Arrow who acts well (better than on some episodes of Arrow) and Tracy Spiridakos of Revolution. Torrance Coombs from Reign has a supporting role. Katie looks more intelligent with dark hair, plays a girl whose room mate went missing. Tracy plays new room mate. Both have abusive men in their lives, an ex boyfriend and father respectively and things take off from there.Worth a watch. For a non blockbuster thriller this is pretty good.

It is a wonder how a film or book can be boring and interesting at the same time but it happens. This is an example. Yes the story line was interesting and on a side note Katie Cassidy (a legit scream queen-Black X-mas, When a stranger calls, A nightmare on Elm st.) loses her normally blonde locks for a much more natural look that I dug very much. I felt this film had a good story but was painfully boring most of the time.I felt the actresses more often than not were one note and dull. The actor who plays the obsessed boyfriend was an over-actor. The direction was fine but the pace and the soundtrack was just not up to par. However i did like the twists and the bit of mystery towards the end but I wouldn't watch it again and that's saying a lot for me because when i even sort of like a film I'll see it at least twice.It wasn't original really and at times reminded me of a wannabe Single White female or The roommate only not as good as either.

Armed with a solid 9.2 rating (that's what it was at when I watched the movie!), what could possibly go wrong?? Well, as per usual, the cast and crew and all of their families and friends voted for this movie on its day of release, and as a result, it had a score of 9.2/10 when I watched it... THAT'S what went wrong! If you check the ratings, you will see that over 1/4 of the people who subsequently voted for this movie, gave it a score of 1/10, and there's a very good reason for that... can you guess what it is? I strongly suggest you ignore those who voted 10/10, unless you trust ratings from those involved in the making of the movie, and don't believe reviews from anyone who tells you this movie is suspenseful or full of twists and turns or gripping or thrilling or anything of the sort! This movie is absolute garbage and I'd take any review to the contrary with an extremely large pinch of salt! Do yourself a favor... sit in your garden with some popcorn and watch the grass grow. Trust me, it would be far more exciting than this movie!
