Cult Killer

I started watching this for Antonio Banderas. With such a title as CULT KILLER I expected a riveting thriller with lots of suspenseful plot turns and thrilling attacks. NONE of that.

The bad; this movie just toddles along. Gently like a stream. Completely void of any real thrill or drama. Antonio Banderas has only got a supporting role, in which he is mumbling all sorts of jibberish to the leading actress ( a "determined" cop) who supposedly is THE person to solve a crime.

What we get to see is not terribly bad, it's not a B-movie for sure, but folks expecting a thriller or crime drama better pass this one by.

Cult killer is a very different film to be honest and it left me kinda questioning some scenes and some characters also but this movie wasn't really as bad as people say , it had some good camera shots , above average soundtrack and THE BEST actor of all time and that is Antonio Banderas, Not only he saved the movie by his AMAZING performance but man he is such a good actor and this character reminds me of the other characters that he played in his past movies but Antonio's performance really made this movie to be a 7/10.

There are a lot of flaws on storytelling and the pacing and sometimes I don't really know what's happening but they really should've made the scenes appear clearer with a clear story but oh well at least the start was good.

Overall an OK film Antonio Banderas carried it 7/10.

The idea and concept of the movie are noteworthy, but the overall execution leaves a certain amount of disappointment.

The film strives to be tense and keep the viewer in constant suspense, but does not always achieve this due to uneven plotting and episodes that sometimes drag on.

Nevertheless, the film has some interesting moments and stylish visuals that give it a certain uniqueness.

The film does not lose its charm, although its realization could have been stronger.

Cult Killer is a movie worth watching if you are ready for an experimental approach and are not afraid of some flaws.

6/10.

I just does not work. You have solid actors which can definitely deliver and s script/story which seems ok adequate but the whole movie has the overall aesthetic of a lackluster filler episode from a bad television series.

The visuals, cinematography, and overall production design lack anything close to what I would expect in a film.

The character interactions are filmed so badly it feels like a documentary with people who really don't want to be there.

The most disheartening aspect is that I like all the main actors but felt that the film falls so short of its potential. The execution and overall presentation leave much to be desired.

I dare to say that Cult Killer will never be considered anything near the league of cult movies; instead, it will quickly be forgotten and fall into the void of total oblivion - and rightfully so. The production is okay, the cast is okayish too, but the story is, well, I can't put it better than a fellow reviewer did: it beats staring at the wallpaper. One could rightfully argue that there are more interesting and captivating wallpapers around that surpass Cult Killer's entertainment value, but I don't want to be too petty on the issue. What you get are super tough ladies (like in almost every movie these days) and a plot on auto-pilot. Verdict: only recommended if you have an ultra-boring wallpaper on your walls and not the ambition to change that fact and watch rather some redundant flick instead.
