That was an excellent one.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Born Killers has got to be one of the lamest and boring movies I have ever suffered through. The actors who played the 2 brothers are not star material to begin with. They are supposed to be stone cold Killers and they come off as soft wannabe tough guys. The kind you have a strong urge to slap for just looking your way. This movie was a dismal failure. Who cast these people ? Was it out of pity ? Lack of a budget ? A casting director who is incompetent ? The actors are dull. The plot is lame. The story is incredibly boring. This has got to be a planned tax write off or something. It would take a complete idiot to read the script and not see it for exactly what it is, as lame as lame can get. It's like someone thought hmmmmm let me find the worst script out there and pick the wimpiest no name cast I can find and see what happens. Well , as I am sure you suspected, nothing happened for a nothing movie ! This movie deserves a minus 10 rating. Born Wimps would be a more appropriate title. LOL

I never would have thought that I could be bored watching a movie about a pair of serial killers. Born Killers changed all that, as it is easily the worst serial killer film I've ever seen. Surprisingly enough, this film starts out pretty good and slowly descends into being unwatchable. John & Michael were left to learn about life from their father, a complete psychopath, so it's no surprise, that they turned out to be killers as well. John (Jake Muxworthy) is the quiet, good looking, methodical one, while his brother Michael (Gabriel Mann), is reckless, leaving John to clean up his mess. After we get the back story on the brothers, and see them in action, they go their separate ways, and the story focuses on John. Jake Muxworthy plays the quiet killer, who eventually meets up with a girl. He falls in love and tries to put his killer urges behind him to live the normal life. Muxworthy was the only reason this film got a rating at all. The film lacked the action I was hoping for and just turned into one conversation after another, but Muxworthy was as advertised, as this good looking, methodical killer, who not only plans things down to the last detail, but who also narrates the story. Born Killers wasn't bad in a way where the movie didn't make sense, the problem was how boring and slow moving it was. After the initial action, nothing really happens except for a lot of people doing a lot of talking, and if that's all I wanted to see, I'd just hang out at the mall.

With a title like "Born Killers" and Tom Sizemore, you would think the film had some potential to be entertaining. Unfortunately, Seizemore's screen time is limited to short flashbacks. For a movie that you anticipate would have lots of brutal action, "Born Killers" has very little action of any kind. Off screen violence, frequent flashbacks, and a plot adrift in nonsense, is all there is. These killers are so perfect that even though they pursue violence like a hobby, zero police are involved. The most obvious flaw however is that the film threatens to talk itself to death. Boring conversations, between characters you don't find the least bit interesting is the real "killer" here. - MERK

This isn't a movie likely to suit all tastes, and if you're looking for a gore-soaked slasher movie or a by-the-numbers serial-killer drama you'll be disappointed. The crimes being committed are not brilliant or spectacular, and most of the violence--disturbing as it tends to be--is implied rather than shown. This leaves a lot of room for character, and these characters, detestable though some of them may be, are what make this movie stand out from the formulaic crowd. Jake Muxworthy's lead performance as John is overall very solid, considering he's saddled with the daunting task of imbuing a coldly opportunistic killer with enough human complexity to make his story one we can actually care about. The superb Gabriel Mann is at the height of his powers here as the fun-loving gleefully murderous older brother Michael, making John actually seem stable and reasonable by comparison. Tom Sizemore as their psychopath father is chillingly perfect in that role, as convincing a portrayal as he's ever pulled off. And Lauren German as Gertie is nothing less than a revelation; with her appearance the story spins off into a new and unexpected--and quite risky--direction, and the whole thing could have very easily slid right off the rails but for the strength and seamless believability of her performance. She is, in a word, perfect. She breathes life into an exceptionally complex character, and she adds some much needed light to what would have otherwise been a relentlessly dark story.The dialogue throughout the movie is mostly crisp and smart, and John's voice-over narration contains some real gems. The scenes of horror are appropriately horrific (though mostly bloodless), the funny parts are funny, and the occasional warm bits work surprisingly well too. Good script, good direction, good cast, good movie. It's an hour-and-a-half well spent . . . although you may feel afterward like you need a long shower in a room with a sturdy lock on the door.
