Dot.Kill

I only watched about 30 minutes of this movie.

The music and sound effects were louder than the people talking. I got tired of trying to make out what was being said. The actors seemed to be doing an awesome job from what I could tell. The story line seemed interesting from what I could tell.

I kept thinking that maybe the sound would improve somehow. I kept using the remote to change volume to see if I brought volume down some it would help in hearing the actors speak. No it did no. Still all I could hear is music and sound effects. I tried turning the volume up but No. The music and sound effects just roared and couldn't hear the actors any better. Why is it so imp

ortant to make the music and sound effects soo loud you can't hear the talking? I don't know about the rest of the audience but I CANT READ LIPS!!!

One of those movies that you select at Blockbuster when most of the viewing choices are unappetizing. Armande Assante delivers a strong performance as a police detective, with a bad smoking habit, trying to run down a creative killer. In this moody, urban film all the acting is above average and the story is well paced. The number of characters in the story is substantial but the lead actors (wife, son, buddy, snitch, computer-geek) are easy to follow. The killer selects each of his victims from diverse backgrounds and then proceeds to murder them in unusual - but appalling ways. If you're tired of the animated animals (exception: Ice Age) and/or the non-funny slapstick comedies populating video stores, try Dot.Kill.

Armand Assante was OK, as usual, even if he looked like a grandfather. The movie itself was a TV quality script, with low budget and a predictable story. I wish there was more to say, but there really isn't.

The plot revolves around a cop trying to catch a murderer who kills people live on the Internet. If you watched Criminal Minds you would certainly see the "Angel of Death" pattern and quickly realize who the killer is.

Bottom line: do not rent, do not see at cinema, only watch it on TV when you're really tired.

I saw dot.kill on Showtime the other night; and, while I thought the title was totally lame, I watched it because is starred Armand Assante.

His filmography is hit or miss for me; but, I have to give him credit on this one. His passion within the role really makes this film. He was absolutely convincing as a detective who's health, family life, and career are crumbling.

Charlie is an old-school detective who relies on instinct, not high-tech. He is alternately hard-core, abrasive (particularly to co-workers and his son), and tender (towards a former addict, whom he saved from a life on the streets).

The twist at the end, as to the identity of the killer was great, even though it really wasn't hard to guess, with the heavy foreshadowing used by the director.

It could have been better; but, a pretty good movie nonetheless.

One movie, different names... Dot.kill, Digital Reaper, Digital Killer here..... pfff seen that before, probably a bad B-movie... Well I was surprised, in a good way. Assante produced this one and I must say, it's not bad at all. I'm not a real fan of Assante, but he does a good job. You can look at it in different ways, finding the bad guy came for me in second place, Assante's struggle was for me more interesting. A movie with 2 stories, if you want to see a good b-movie with a human story to tell watch it. I wasn't bored during the movie and that says something. I've seen better movies but there are a lot worse than this one.
