It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Steven Stelfox (Nicholas Hoult) is a late 90's no talent record scout/signer who lives off the talents of others. He loves him his cocaine. He does kill a colleague early in the film to get ahead, but things remain subdued until the film's climax. The movie shows the recording industry in a negative light, although I can't recall a film that ever had a positive spin on the industry. Any love for the film must come from an association or love for the main character, who was shallow, lousy at his job, and not even a good killer.Guide: F-word. Sex and nudity.

Probably not a spoiler cause I am going to be vague, but marked just in case. I don't care for the thinking that this is the American Psycho of this generation. I loved American Psycho, I mean, feed me the kitty is gold. I didn't get that humor from this and it is much more simplistic psychologically. The start of Kill Your Friends is definitely setting the same tone and the homages were noticed and appreciated. I am all about the amoral character and loved those moments. Kill Your Friends has some seriously dark, cynical humor and that is awesome. The problem is that the path of these two movies is very different. One is all about the decent of the mind and the realization of what can happen with an unreliable narrator. That is satire. Business card scene anyone? This movie does not have a decent into madness story line that develops the character as you are along for the ride. Instead, it has a decent into whiny bitchdom with no real reason or purpose to it other than to fill time. I got bored at some point and was wondering what happened to the film that I was initially watching. *spoiler* it does redeem itself in the final act as he realizes who he is surrounded by. However, even that was a stupid moment as he started off telling us that exact thing and yet, he somehow forgot while he was curled up in a ball crying. I say it is a movie in three acts and the second act is when you should go get that popcorn. You won't miss anything meaningful. Like, unfortunately most things nowadays, it is simple and shallow if you want to compare it to the past. It is not the next American Psycho movie, but I have a feeling it is probably a hilarious book.

If you liked the book, then you should enjoy the movie just fine. The issue is the book is not something easily adaptable to become a movie that you could enjoy even if you never read the book and liked it. Some more tweaking could've made this movie a lot more enjoyable to the general audience instead of just taking out the more offensive lines. At the end of the movie you learned and felt nothing. Just an hour and a half to waste time. Steven Stelfox gives you no reason to understand why he would have friends in the first place. You literally know nothing about Steven beyond his cynical internal monologue about the world. Obviously he's not a likable guy, and he's even more charmless in the book, but it doesn't translate well on screen. That was the biggest issue.I think all of the actors did a good job, and Nicholas Hoult did a good job of portraying Steven even though I think he was still looking way too young to be that cynical about life. Other than that, I don't think this book should have been a movie, some things are just better off being left as books.

I wasn't even sure if watching this movie is a good idea. But not trusting in the IMDb points proved me right once again. Kill your friends builds up the dramaturgy to a certain point, never getting too abstract or unrealistic. I have spent way too much time in London and in London's clubs and pubs to find the abuse of alcohol or cocaine unrealistic. And that was 2015. I couldn't imagine the music business in the 80s and 90s. On top of the storyline comes a brilliant cast. Nicholas Hoult is unexpectedly brilliant. I only knew him from warm bodies but this is a big leap in his acting. One of my favorite films until now in 2016.Sorry for the bad English.
