If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

My girl picked this out to watch. I was thinking ugh! I saw the ratings. And then I was surprised. Two women who have been in traumatic relationships find some common ground. Through a series of events, they find that they have more in common than they expect. Domestic abuse. But who is crazy? For that, you have to watch. It will be worth it. Yes. There are things that are predictable. But it was well executed. The acting was perfect for the movie. This is not going to win academy awards, but both ladies did great jobs. The movie sets the stage well. It creates tension. It keeps you asking questions. It's supposed to be suspenseful. It was fun. I'm sure it could have been taken up a notch in many ways but like a good short story, it entertains well. And with a nice twist. So watch away. There are worse movies you can watch by marquee directors.

The college student Natalie Ross (Leah Gibson) goes missing and her friend and roommate Amanda Rowe (Katie Cassidy) accuses her ex-boyfriend Cameron McClure (Torrance Coombs) to the police. However nothing is proved against Cameron and Amanda's roommate Zoe (Shannon Chan-Kent) decides to rent Natalie's room to share the expenses of their house. They accept the student Hayley Jones (Tracy Spiridakos) and she gets close to Amanda. When the upset Cameron threatens Amanda, Hayley defends her and they have a close relationship. Soon Cameron breaks in their house and hits Amanda; however Hayley arrives at home and hits Cameron on the head with an axe. Hayley convinces Amanda to hide the corpse, burying in the farm of her abusive father Garret Jones (Donal Logue). Then she tries to convince Amanda to kill Garret, but Amanda refuses. Hayley kidnaps Amanda's friend Mark (Adam DiMarco) to force Amanda to kill her father. What will Amanda do?"Kill for Me" is a predictable and shallow straight for video thriller. The characters are poorly developed and Cameron, for example, is murdered and forgotten by the plot. The bisexual Amanda is also a confused character and it is not clear why she had accused Cameron for the disappearance of Natalie. The conclusion is corny and is not clear why Garret has kept Natalie alive in the hole. As most of these average thrillers, the conclusion offers an easy moralist solution to all the problems, with the villains dead and the redemption of the lead character. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "Sentença de Morte" ("Death Sentence")

It is a wonder how a film or book can be boring and interesting at the same time but it happens. This is an example. Yes the story line was interesting and on a side note Katie Cassidy (a legit scream queen-Black X-mas, When a stranger calls, A nightmare on Elm st.) loses her normally blonde locks for a much more natural look that I dug very much. I felt this film had a good story but was painfully boring most of the time.I felt the actresses more often than not were one note and dull. The actor who plays the obsessed boyfriend was an over-actor. The direction was fine but the pace and the soundtrack was just not up to par. However i did like the twists and the bit of mystery towards the end but I wouldn't watch it again and that's saying a lot for me because when i even sort of like a film I'll see it at least twice.It wasn't original really and at times reminded me of a wannabe Single White female or The roommate only not as good as either.

Don't watch the trailer if not you will complain that it sucks. The trailer spoils the movie.Kill For Me is actually a lot better than one would think. The acting was quite good, the writing was good, the directing and cinematography was well done. There may be a few "gratuitous" scenes but it doesn't spoil the movie, if anything it adds to the complexity of the situation/characters I am not a huge thriller fan but I rather enjoyed this one. The story is different (not Oscar level or anything), the pace was good and it keeps you guessing. Enough plot, twists, action and chemistry to keep you watching and to understand what is happening. It's not a horror so you won't be jumping out of your seats at any time.You may think some of it is unrealistic but after a while it makes sense that certain characters do certain things that may seem out of character to most people.*SPOILER* kind of The one thing I did find a bit odd was the lack of remorse but I guess you get numb to the trauma after a while.
