Absolutely brilliant
It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
View MoreThe story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
View MoreI had no idea that Kamal Ahmed, one of the Jerky Boys, has been writing and directing low budget films for a number of years. This grindhouse throwback to the gritty NYC 1970s crime flicks, the likes of of Abel Ferrara or Larry Cohen, is fun for fans of that subgenre, though I'm not sure others will get much out of this film. The excellent William Forsythe plays a hit-man who follows a woman to her creative writing class (taught by the big brother from "ET") where he begins writing stories based on his crimes to impress her. It's an interesting set up, that felt very Larry Cohen-esque, but the characters and plot never really grabbed me. The film seems more of an exercise in style, with the players acting out film archetypes rather than fully fleshed out characters. Tom Sizemore even shows up, in true B-picture fashion, for what must have been a one-day shoot talking directly to the camera and not interacting with any other actors. Still, when all of this is packaged in an obvious nostalgia piece, right down to an amazing retro style title sequence and score (by Scott Hampton), this film is enjoyable enough for fans of films like "Ms. .45" or "God Told Me To."
View MoreKamal Ahmed tried to make an ambitious movie but in my eyes he just failed. Despise William Forsythe that tries to make the movie a bit interesting the rest of the cast doesn't bring much to the movie. And also the story is just too slow and sometimes makes not much sense to make it enjoyable to watch. I even fell asleep for the last five minutes and I even didn't bother to rewind to watch those five minutes over. I couldn't care less how it ended. It's one of those movies you watch once, without much interest, and that you will completely forget about in a month. I'm even going to write the title down so that I don't forget I already watched it and that it wasn't good. Don't want to make the same mistake twice.
View MoreThese are the kind of movies I miss. "You don't make up for your sins in church; you do it in the streets; you do it at home. The rest is bullshit." Laugh killer Laugh is a powerful tale of urban sin and guilt that marks Kamal Ahmeds's arrival as an important cinematic voice and features electrifying performances from William Forsythe and Tom Sizemore. Great stuff, worth a watch.Loved the cameo by Artie Lang.Hopefully these guys keep making movies. I would love to see what comes next
View MoreThe movie has comedy, gangster interaction, and emotion. It was totally worth watching. I felt for the main character because he was abused as a young boy. He grew up mad and alone. He had no family or friends to turn to. He finally meets the love his life and she suffers the consequences of his life choices. I knew there would be comedy involved when I heard Kamil was the director. I've always been a fan of his especially in my younger years when he was a jerky boy. I was in suspense while laughing throughout the movie. Very entertaining.My favorite movies include laughter and suspense and this had it I urge you to buy this move and watch it . You won't regret it.
