Killerman

Extreme violence and some confusing plot elements in this crime thriller, but it did keep me engaged throughout with its air of menace.

Liam Hemsworth stars as Moe Diamond, a jeweler and money launderer, whose friend Skunk (Emory Cohen) has hooked him up with some jobs for his mobster uncle (Zlatko Buric). However, Moe and Skunk decide to do a multi million dollar drug deal on the side which goes terribly wrong and all kinds of mayhem will ensue. The twists at the end just add to all the wild and crazy happenings.

Overall, if you don't mind the over-the-top violence, the explicit language, or some confusing plot elements the film did keep me engrossed throughout.

Yes, there are better gangster movies.

But this is not a bad movie. Be patient and go along with the story and it's just a fine movie to watch. That is, when you like gangster/thriller movies, with some violence (bad things off camera) and the unavoidable foul language that goes with it.

Worth a watch when you wait until the story develops.

I gave it a '7' because I don't think it was a waste of time at all. It was relatively fast-paced, violent, intense, with good acting and cinematography all around. 'Scarface' it ain't, but that's not what 'Killerman' was attempting to be. Just a solid popcorn urban drug flick to spend 90 minutes with. Worth your while.

He's done this movie before. Was it the one actually set in the 70s, instead of just having that look,where he was a security guard who always wanted to be a cop or the one where he plays a jersey boy trying to hook up with a spoiled uptown brat? Either way Chris' younger brother, as I like to think of him, loves this type of role as the East coast tough kid far too pretty to be that gangster. He's good in that role too, so if you love the ex-mr. Miley Cyrus, it's cool to call him that too, you'll love the movie cause that's what it's all about. Other than that, it's a predictable crime drama that tries to distract you with a lot of empty action sequences. The film has no feeling to it at all. I never get to a place where I have any emotion towards any of the other characters other than Hemsworth's. The film has a cleaver story but you see it coming from the very beginning which screws it up. So like I said, good enough if you're feeling Liam like that. Me, not really.

This movie is the reason you should always judge for yourself and ignore the bad reviews. A lot of people might avoid this movie due to its poor rating, but they'd be missing out. Great movie.
