You would think Lionsgate would wait for Knight and Day to open before remaking it.

Is this really the movie Heigl has been describing as an "action movie" in the past few months?

Is it possible for me to threadcrap in a thread I started, in the OP?

Ashton Kutcher = No Sale!

He has absolutely zero acting talent. He's just a celebrity.

I actually thought he was good in Spread, a film I reviewed for DVDTalk, but he looks jaw-droppingly bad in this movie.

My Other Self

This masterpiece is at a whopping 06% at Rotten Tomatoes.. after counting 35 reviews.

What gets me is that the "critics" (using the word very loosely) that gave this film a positive reviews are just quote whores that want their name plastered in ads and DVD release for this shit.

bd...?

Spread was a good film

Too bad this sucks. Looked like a decent matinee or rental.

The Antipodean

I hate Kutcher and I hate Heigl, so I can't imagine ever seeing this unless it's directed by Stanley Kubrick.

I'd love to see an interview a few months later with Heigl complaining about having to work with 'Zombie' Kubrick.

It's the long-awaited final film in a trilogy, after Killer's Kiss and The Killing.

Kutcher should just stick to Tweeting, and leave the movie-making to professionals.

I actually had some interest in the early on. The wife prefers comedies and romantic comedies, so if I can get an action comedy thrown in there with maybe a little cleavage I can get pooints for going to a movie she picks and still get a little action. As a 6% on RT that is one that goes to the bottom of the rental queue until there is nothing left.

From the Killers Metacritic review:

What's hilarious is that the pull-quote is from the best review on the site.

Wow, this could have been my exact posting except for the "unless it's directed by Stanley Kubrick" part, because the randomness of it, is far too random to ever be thought of by someone else.

Anyways...... I hate Kutcher and I hate Heigl, so I can't imagine ever seeing this either.

The Antipodean

But I would be interesting to see Kutcher in a Kubrick movie, would it not? "Barry Lydon II"!

I saw this only because it was free, but feel I overpaid.

The Black

I saw this with six women...

At least I could laugh at how bad it was, and dear god was it bad.

At the theater where I saw this, after it was over, someone shouted, "My name is Katherine Heigl, and I've just been Punk'D". That got more of a laugh than anything in the movie.

Man what is going on this year with the "Star-based couples action/comedy" genre. So far we have had The Bounty Hunter, Date Night, Knight and Day, and Killers. Aren't there a few more coming down this year as well?

Killers was bad, but I argue that it was at least on par with The Bounty Hunter. Neither is offensively bad, but they're both horrendously written, poorly directed, and generally a bit dull all around. There were a few laughs and a couple decently executed action scenes, mixed with some really lousy ones, but in the end it really did come off like a ridiculously watered down Grosse Point Blank. At least Katherine Heigl is still easy on the eyes and Catherine O'Hara is always great to have around.

I hate using the term but the movie was just stupid.

It seems like this years' Rom-Coms are the modern version of Elvis movies. Enough people must go to see actors or actresses they like that they can make some money on the movie. I am assuming the productions costs are pretty resonable at least compared to big sci-fi movies with tons of special effects so the threshhold is low.

Either that or Jennifer Anniston is blowing a producer and in return he gives her roles in really shitty movies.

Saw this tonight on DVD, and I have to say I kind of enjoyed it. First half was horrible, and second half was predictable, but I still had fun. I'm not sure how this happened. Maybe I have lost all taste in film. Better watch some Kubrick to get myself back in line.

You're not alone. I too found it to be a fun little diversion. High art it's not but it did entertain me which is what I paid for it to do.
