Kill Me Later.......2007-02-24

Kill Me Later is a really good movie. A drama that ends great, and shows the severity of depression and how suicide can rule ones life as it gives people hope that things can always turn out better.

A treat for Selma Blair fans.......2007-01-12

Although the plot is contrived (Selma Blair, who is trying to end her miserable life by jumping off a building, agrees to be "held hostage" by a young bank robber provided he will "kill me later") the movie is a great vehicle for Ms. Blair, who even manages to impart meaning and smouldering sensuality to her extended smoking scenes. For the type of movie it is, it works well.

Good Plot and Good Acting.......2005-11-02

I saw this movie on TV and I really enjoyed it, so much in fact that I bought it. The actors did a great job and played believable roles. There is some dark humor and funny lines. The plot was good and not something seen very often in main screen movies today.
The only bad part of the movie was the editing. The director used weird colors for small snippets, which in my opinion did not help emphasize anything, there were also weird zooms and other odd editing.
Overall though I liked the movie and it is something I can watch again and again. I recommend it..

Well, this probably COULD have been a good movie........2005-02-09

After viewing this film, I felt the compelling need to vent a bit of my frustration. Selma Blair is a fabulous, currently underrated actress and Max Beesley was rather charming in "Kill Me Later". The story, while not exactly original, certainly showed some promise. None of that mattered though...at all.

I don't know what her deal is, but director Dana Lustig has virtually no talent whatsoever as a director. She slowed footage down, sped footage up, reversed footage, used awkward camera angles, used annoying color filters, made a zillion quick cuts, jumped back and forth in the timeline and topped it all off with an obnoxious "modern" soundtrack of blaring junk. I can't remember the last time I saw such an incompetent job of directing a film. Her ego must be huge to toss out the acting and story and put her direction front and center for the audience members to take notice of. It is crammed down their throats.

There are a couple of good scenes in "Kill Me Later" which show what could have and should have been. Unfortunately, just when things would start to show promise, Ms. Lustig would dig into her bag of film school tricks and jumble things up again. It's a shame because Blair and Beesley had good chemistry and you could tell that the film really had a good heart.

Great Flick!.......2004-05-01

This was a great movie!! I jumped in the middle of it and it caught my eye! Boy am I glad that I stayed - this movie has you wanting Charlie and Shawn to get together the whole time (at least I did) They need each other for survival and they finally figure it out at the end! Don't want to give too much away but it was a great suspense up to the end also! I reccomend this movie to anyone!
