The Charisma Killers

Where to start, it is like a Tarrantino film that he came up with when he was hammered on cheap whiskey and directed by mobile phone with a poor mobile signal, for a start the beginning is slow, the middle is slow and the ending just plain silly, the characters are over the top, there is so much time wasted on them at the start to try to pad out the story, not that there is much of a story, it is like going back to the 80's with bits of all the worst action films cobbled together, to be fair it is well filmed and there are a few light hearted parts and amusing parts but they don't really help much to be honest, it is pretty naff and I only left it playing because I was doing something else whilst it was on.

This movie looked like it was fun to make! All of the characters had interesting personalities. My favorite had to be Psycho, with his soul piercing eyes and thirst for blood yet genuinely sweet when he wanted to be 🤣 I enjoyed the ambiance of the set, the choreography of the fight scenes were well done; and the acting was fine. You can tell they aren't seasoned in acting just yet but they still did phenomenally. Michael Rossi really outdid himself with this newest film. He has come a long way and his casting picks were nothing less than awesome! Watched this movie 2 times already and both times I was fully entertained!

This film has interesting characters with underlying complexities that still somehow feel relatable to the viewer. The writer managed to include the characters' backstories in a way that worked well with the storyline without feeling like it was going off course. I especially enjoyed the fight choreography in the different scenes of this movie. The narration provides an intriguing layer to the film.

With the action, characters, and pacing of the film, it feels like a fast watch. There were a lot of twists and turns in the plot that I did not see coming, all the way until the very end of the film. If you are a fan of action flicks, add this one to your list and give it a go!

I am not usually much of an action movie person, and I loved The Charisma Killers! The story is full of twists and turns right up until the credits, keeping the audience guessing.

Writer and director Michael Matteo Rossi pulls no punches with the storytelling or intensity in this film. The characters are all interesting and unique, and you get invested in them right from the start. Just when you think the film has gotten as intense as it possibly could, he cranks up the dial again. The ending also gives resolution while also leaving a lot of unanswered questions, which leaves the viewer with a lot to think about, trying to tease out every little detail of the film and figure out the answers to the unanswered questions.

Such a great film!

The film opens with a very Guy Ritchie esq character intro, narrated by the awesome & legendary Vernon Wells.

We meet our characters and instantly relate to them on some level.

The action doesn't pause, the story flows with ease and the film fly's by leaving you wanted a continuation, whilst simultaneously leaving you with a satisfying conclusion.

This film has it all, action, violence, gore & heart.

My only critique, is some of the more emotional scenes could do with less soundtrack, but for an Indie production the production quality would forgive you for thinking this is from larger studio.

For an Indie movie, this is definitely one to watch!

Michael Matteo Rossi movies grow with each release.

Waiting impatiently for The Charisma Killers Part 2.
