good back-story, and good acting

Absolutely Brilliant!

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

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.

Please hold on to your handrails. We are now entering Strangers On A Train territory. Two female students meet, and quickly become good friends and roommates. One has an abusive ex-boyfriend, who is constantly trying to assault his old flame. The other girl sticks a hatchet in his head while he is retreating from yet another case of unprovoked battery, but convinces her mate not to tell the police as 'they'd never believe it was self-defence. Why the law WOULDN'T think that is beyond me (The man sneaked into her house with a shotgun, after all, and that's to say nothing about all the forensic evidence) but the victim is swayed, and together they drive the corpse away before burying it.Now, it turns out that for slaying her ex, one of the young ladies needs a favour from the other... that involves killing her father... who used to beat her up in the same way her mate's now dead old flame did. The problem is, the other girl is just a bit more squeamish than her friend when it comes to murder, and flat out refuses to do it. She soon changes her mind though, when her so-called buddy abducts someone very close to her roommate and threatens him unless she cooperates. So, our unwilling murderess puts on her most revealing dress, and heads down to her friend's father's favorite hang-outs, so she can get picked up by him, and poison his drink while they canoodle at his farm. But as per usual. things are NOT WHAT THEY SEEM... Or are they?If you were to sum up the problems of this movie in just two words, they would be 'forced' and 'predictable'. The forced nature derives from some really stupid decisions made by the leads, when there's ALWAYS an easier way out, and the sudden unnecessary arrival of lesbianism in the script. Look, I like a nice snog between two attractive women as much as the next fella... but here, it appears out of nowhere, with at least one of the 'lovers' having dated men all their life. FAN SERVICE ALERT! It's also highly predictable in that the twists aren't difficult to figure out, second guessing the narrative becomes part of the viewing experience... which isn't all that fun. For instance: one of the central duo has a missing sister... and half an hour before the end I'd figured out what had happened to her, and who was holding her captive. And this was supposed to be The Big Reveal. Give me a frickin' break.Just Average. 5/10

A girl goes missing. Her roommates seek someone else to use her room. Country girl Hayley arrives to rent the room. Amanda who works with a famous attorney, notices that Hayley's back is bruised and covered in scars. Amanda has a nice guy friend and some creepy ex who won't leave her alone, but Hayley steps in to protect her from him and also starts making out with Amanda.One day the ex catches Amanda alone in the house, he has a gun and becomes pushy. Hayley arrives and gets tossed around a bit. When the guy decides to leave, she buries an ax in his skull. Hayley suggests they bury the body, since Amanda's prints are also on the ax. They go ahead and bury the body on Hayley's dad's ranch.Now that Hayley has killed for Amanda, she suggests Amanda return the favor. She wants to get rid of her dad, who according to her, killed her mom and abused her- hence the scars. It's a convoluted plan that involves Amanda seducing him, replacing his drink with antifreeze, and printing a suicide note. At first reluctant she agrees, until he tells her a very different story. But there is another twist.Kill for Me is yet another entry in the popular 'evil men- poor victim women who then take revenge' genre, written by...men. It's a well done movie, it's interesting, a tad too slow at times. It lacks a sense of dread, tension. The relationship between the two is interesting as long as there's some sexual tension. But as usual the movie relies on characters being dumb. Amanda consults with the lawyer but never tells her exactly what is going on. Hayley's dad is perhaps the most interesting character- a mellow and likable guy overall. The movie succeeds at leading the viewer around the nose for a while and you think that this is one of those movies with a villain in god mode who has everything planned ahead. Overall the story is good although it is not entirely clear that it works, if you actually think about all the details, and the movie could have used more excitement.

I Just wanted to point out that I've just watched this and I'm definitely not in any way involved in the production of it as so many seem to be accusing others of. I'm not reviewing every detail as many have already but I must say Katie Cassidy is absolutely stunning and really puts forth a great performance here as well as the lovely Tracy Spiridakos. I gave it a solid 8. I'm just not sure where these people are getting a 1 from....have they seen what I've just seen? There are far far worse movies out there. Battleship for instance is certainly a horrible movie and deserves a 1. I was thoroughly entertained from start to finish and that's more than I can say about a lot of the other movies I've seen recently. I suggest checking it out. Is it Oscar worthy? No. Is worthy of an hour and a half of your time? Certainly!
