A Killer Within (2004) Reviews

I like C Thomas Howell. And the plot synopsis sounded interesting. That's why I picked this movie up. But this movie wasn't even good enough for cable tv. The plot was very predictable; the characters were two-dimensional; the dialogue, acting and blocking were forced. Would have been impressive for a high-school drama/film class, but not a serious movie. The first few minutes of the special feature interviews were painful to watch, so I fast-forwarded through for a while, stopping to listen here and there, and finally gave up. What little I did glean was that it's a first film for most of those involved. This one will keep you thinking long after it's over... and your opinion of it will get worse and worse. And remember kids, if yearbook class and wood shop is filled, try film class instead.

This is a rough movie to watch. Poor direction. They should have spent more time on the angle with the cops out to get him. Where did they find those ugly hookers at? I mean come on they don't dress like that in real life. I think one even had a feather boa. I find it amazing that they (Browder and Howell) graduated college together but they are like 20 years apart. The close up of Saun Youngs mouth in the beginning looks like the same clip of the lunar landing only in color. I can't believe I am still wasting my time on this.
