Kill List
Jay is an ex-soldier living in a comfortable suburban home with his pretty blonde wife, Shel, and seven-year-old son, Sam, who prefers playing at medieval knights with his dad rather than hearing bedtime stories about the ambushing of armoured cars in Baghdad. Jay and Gal (Michael Smiley), his former comrade-in-arms and subsequent partner-in-crime stay at anonymous, ominously silent hotels beside motorways, meet a strange, unnamed client with a suitcase full of banknotes and embark on a series of murders in which the victims appear to welcome their fates as some form of retribution. This only serves to make Jay's behaviour more violent and unprofessional. “If Ricky Gervais or Mike Leigh made a horror film, it might look something like this”. Director: Ben Wheatley Starring: David Bowen, Harry Simpson, Michael Smiley, MyAnna Buring, Neil Maskell Rating: 18 Year: 2011 Country: UK Length: 95mins |
