With football almost over, I thought I'd start the new year by trying to watch a movie every Sunday morning. This was prompted mainly by the fact that the much ballyhooed movie "Kill List" was On Demand and I wanted to check it out. Sadly, I only made it halfway through before I decided to go back to bed and when I got up later and finished the movie, it was almost like I was still dreaming. I don't know if you can even call it a twist because it was pretty pointless and almost haphazard. The final twist is so obvious that even if you were invested in the film, it would still just fall flat.

If someone had told me that "Kill List" was a student project from a kid who loved "Drive" and "Wicker Man" but thought that stuff like plot and believable characters got in the way, I would have believed it. Many reviewers who liked the film tend to say that the beginning is a character study but the lead character is so helter skelter that it's kind of ridiculous. It's similar to Young Adult in a way that the main character is such a cartoon that it's hard to invest in it. But then part of me thinks that I'm not supposed to and that the film was a kind of dark comedy. If I had gone in thinking it was almost a spoof of dark thrillers, I might have liked it better but not by much.

This is the kind of film that Nic Cage would make in America and critics would hate it.

If for some reason, you feel like you just HAVE to see this film, I'd wait for it to hit Netflix Streaming. No need to waste 10 bucks on top of the 90 minutes the film runs. Honestly, I'd be pretty surprised if something trumped this for the bottom spot of 2012. It would definitely have outdone Scream 4 for the bottom of 2011.
