Very well executed

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

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.

I just happened to come across this movie one night when I couldn't sleep. Since it had Selma Blair in it, I stopped and was immediately drawn in. In fact, I liked it so much that I watched it every time it came on a movie channel the rest of that week. I have been looking for the DVD everywhere and have not been able to find it. The movie follows Shawn(played by the talented Selma Blair), who, after some bad events in her life, has decided to commit suicide. But as she is about to jump off a building, she is kidnapped by a bank robber on the run. The rest of the movie follows the two as they run from 2 detectives trying to catch them. It is hilarious and sad and moving, and the ending was well worth the wait. If you are looking for a fun, suspenseful, as well as offbeat, movie, this is one for you. Definitely worth your time.

After viewing this film, I felt the compelling need to vent a bit of my frustration. Selma Blair is a fabulous, currently underrated actress and Max Beesley was rather charming in "Kill Me Later". The story, while not exactly original, certainly showed some promise. None of that mattered though...at all.I don't know what her deal is, but director Dana Lustig has virtually no talent whatsoever as a director. She slowed footage down, sped footage up, reversed footage, used awkward camera angles, used annoying color filters, made a zillion quick cuts, jumped back and forth in the timeline and topped it all off with an obnoxious "modern" soundtrack of blaring junk. I can't remember the last time I saw such an incompetent job of directing a film. Her ego must be huge to toss out the acting and story and put her direction front and center for the audience members to take notice of. It is crammed down their throats.There are a couple of good scenes in "Kill Me Later" which show what could have and should have been. Unfortunately, just when things would start to show promise, Ms. Lustig would dig into her bag of film school tricks and jumble things up again. It's a shame because Blair and Beesley had good chemistry and you could tell that the film really had a good heart. 3/10

Kill me Later has a concept that has been done to death. The script is a bit immature, but still very much enjoyable. Both Max Beesely and Selma Blair pull in solid performances in this piece. One thing that's enjoyable about this movie is that all of the characters are generally relatable. Selma Blair's Shawn is utterly pessimistic, While Max Beesely's Shawn is hopelessly optimistic about things. The film may be a little contrived but the ending is a little more realistic. It's sweet, it's funny and at moments, you'll want to cry. An enjoyable film.
