Killers DVD
Starring: Ashton Kutcher, Katherine Heigl, Tom Selleck, Catherine O’Hara
Director: Robert Luketic
Rating: 1/5
Katherine Heigl really is becoming the queen of the rom-com and she has worked with some of Hollywood’s most attractive men.
And her new movie Killers is no exception as she teams up with Ashton Kutcher for the very first time.
Spencer Aimes is just your average, undercover, government-hired super-assassin accustomed to a life of exotic European locales, flashy sports cars and even flashier women.
But when he meets Jen Kornfeldt, a beautiful, fun-loving computer tech recovering from a bad break-up, he finds true love and happily trades international intrigue for domestic bliss.
Three years later, Spencer and Jen are still enjoying a picture-perfect marriage... that is, until the morning after Spencer's 30th birthday.
That's when Spencer and Jen learn he's the target of a multi-million dollar hit. Even worse, the hired killers have been stalking the happy couple for years, and could be anyone: friends, neighbours, the grocery store clerk, even that crabby old guy shuffling across the street.
Sadly for Killers it tries to be funny, it tries to be action packed and it tries to be cool but it manages to achieve none of the above, the very lovely Ashton Kutcher is the only real plus point.
It just feels like a thrown together movie with a poor script and awful dialogue, you really have to wonder what Kutcher and Heigl were thinking.
Kutcher doesn’t really pull off the suave, sophisticated spy while it’s the same old same old from Heigl; she really needs to try something different as it is getting a little tiresome.
It’s the type of movie that wee have seen a hundred times before but it just lacks life and spirit and really is a major disappointment.
Killer is out on DVD now.
