The 2023 movie "King of Killer", from writer and director Kevin Grevioux, was one I hadn't heard about. But as I happened to stumble upon it by random luck here in 2024, of course I opted to watch it.
First of all, the movie's cover had a particular late 1980s and early 1990s feel to it, which drew me in. And seeing that Frank Grillo was on the cast list, certainly helped to make me watch the movie as well.
The storyline in "King of Killers" was adequate. It was a bit on the simplistic side. But it made for an adequate enough viewing experience. However, I must say that it is hardly a movie that warrants more than just a single viewing. There wasn't really anything new brought to the screen here, as it has all been seen and done before in other movies, and often more successfully.
The acting performances in the movie were good. I was only familiar with Frank Grillo, Stephen Dorff and Kevin Grevioux on the cast list.
There was a good amount of action throughout the course of the movie, and that is certainly what carried the most of the movie, given the somewhat weak storyline.
Ultimately a watchable movie, but hardly an outstanding or memorable movie.
My rating of "King of Killers" lands on a five out of ten stars.
