Expected more

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Two roommates with abusive men in their pasts consider murder as an option to help settle each other's problems. Kill for Me packs 2 really good leading performances by Katie Cassidy (Arrow) and Tracy Spiridakos (Revolution) unfortunately that's the only positive thing about the film because this Thriller suffers from flat characters and a thin plot plus a slow pacing that simply makes the movie drag way more than it should. It also has the typical dumb moments that every single thriller has this days and the ending could been better but like i said the 2 leading women try their best but the script is just not that great it's for sure not a complete disaster but it's not a masterpiece either. (5.5/10)

The college student Natalie Ross (Leah Gibson) goes missing and her friend and roommate Amanda Rowe (Katie Cassidy) accuses her ex-boyfriend Cameron McClure (Torrance Coombs) to the police. However nothing is proved against Cameron and Amanda's roommate Zoe (Shannon Chan-Kent) decides to rent Natalie's room to share the expenses of their house. They accept the student Hayley Jones (Tracy Spiridakos) and she gets close to Amanda. When the upset Cameron threatens Amanda, Hayley defends her and they have a close relationship. Soon Cameron breaks in their house and hits Amanda; however Hayley arrives at home and hits Cameron on the head with an axe. Hayley convinces Amanda to hide the corpse, burying in the farm of her abusive father Garret Jones (Donal Logue). Then she tries to convince Amanda to kill Garret, but Amanda refuses. Hayley kidnaps Amanda's friend Mark (Adam DiMarco) to force Amanda to kill her father. What will Amanda do?"Kill for Me" is a predictable and shallow straight for video thriller. The characters are poorly developed and Cameron, for example, is murdered and forgotten by the plot. The bisexual Amanda is also a confused character and it is not clear why she had accused Cameron for the disappearance of Natalie. The conclusion is corny and is not clear why Garret has kept Natalie alive in the hole. As most of these average thrillers, the conclusion offers an easy moralist solution to all the problems, with the villains dead and the redemption of the lead character. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "Sentença de Morte" ("Death Sentence")

This is not a run of the mill thriller. There are some surprising twists and turns and it is well directed with a good pace and suitably mysterious atmosphere.The watchable cast includes Katie Cassidy of Arrow who acts well (better than on some episodes of Arrow) and Tracy Spiridakos of Revolution. Torrance Coombs from Reign has a supporting role. Katie looks more intelligent with dark hair, plays a girl whose room mate went missing. Tracy plays new room mate. Both have abusive men in their lives, an ex boyfriend and father respectively and things take off from there.Worth a watch. For a non blockbuster thriller this is pretty good.

A girl goes missing. Her roommates seek someone else to use her room. Country girl Hayley arrives to rent the room. Amanda who works with a famous attorney, notices that Hayley's back is bruised and covered in scars. Amanda has a nice guy friend and some creepy ex who won't leave her alone, but Hayley steps in to protect her from him and also starts making out with Amanda.One day the ex catches Amanda alone in the house, he has a gun and becomes pushy. Hayley arrives and gets tossed around a bit. When the guy decides to leave, she buries an ax in his skull. Hayley suggests they bury the body, since Amanda's prints are also on the ax. They go ahead and bury the body on Hayley's dad's ranch.Now that Hayley has killed for Amanda, she suggests Amanda return the favor. She wants to get rid of her dad, who according to her, killed her mom and abused her- hence the scars. It's a convoluted plan that involves Amanda seducing him, replacing his drink with antifreeze, and printing a suicide note. At first reluctant she agrees, until he tells her a very different story. But there is another twist.Kill for Me is yet another entry in the popular 'evil men- poor victim women who then take revenge' genre, written by...men. It's a well done movie, it's interesting, a tad too slow at times. It lacks a sense of dread, tension. The relationship between the two is interesting as long as there's some sexual tension. But as usual the movie relies on characters being dumb. Amanda consults with the lawyer but never tells her exactly what is going on. Hayley's dad is perhaps the most interesting character- a mellow and likable guy overall. The movie succeeds at leading the viewer around the nose for a while and you think that this is one of those movies with a villain in god mode who has everything planned ahead. Overall the story is good although it is not entirely clear that it works, if you actually think about all the details, and the movie could have used more excitement.
