ramsbodane Review of Kill Me Later

Kill Me Later (2001)

Hostage movies tend to be lame. Unless they're 'Kill Me Later"

[7/10 · 8 September 2005]

I'm quite happy to admit that I only watched 'Kill Me Later because it starred Selma Blair and I happen to think she's rather cool (despite 'Hellboy', but I'm happy to chalk that down to a bit her right of a laugh at work). Dana Lustig balances out 'Kill Me Later' with all the food groups necessary to make a motion picture work, pulling together some great performances with an original script and well thought out characters. It's theme stems from the tested movie setup: Two people living out the worst day of their respective lives meet. Gradually add hilarious or terrifying situations as required... But this is turned on it's head to satisfy the black comedy needs of 'Kill Me Later'. I'm fairly sure that the intent of the film is not to make suicide seem funny, so your allowed to laugh.
