Shawn Holloway has a miserable life since she was eleven, when her father left her mother and she stayed alone with her problematic mother. Presently she is graduated, works in a bank and is the mistress of her married colleague Matthew Richmond. When she finds that Matthew's wife is pregnant, she decides to commit suicide. She goes to the roof of the building, drinks some vodka, trying to get enough courage to jump to the floor. The neighbors see the scene and call the police to save Shawn. Meanwhile, the bank where she works is being robbed by Charlie Anders and two friends of him. When the cops arrive to save Shawn, the heist is in progress and the police shoot one robber, the driver escapes and Charlie runs to the top of the building. There, he does not allow Shawn to jump off and saves her. They make an agreement: she would help him to escape, and he would give US$ 50,000.00 to her and kill her later with a shot in the head.
Leave your thoughts about Kill Me Later.
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasAlthough the film's narrative line sometimes proves hard to follow, and some of the songs heard on the soundtrack seem to have little to offer beyond sheer noise, Kill Me Later is a gem, even if a little rough around the edges. |
| Entertainment TodayBrent SimonA long-on-style-short-on-insight mish-mash... the filmmakers trade on credit they haven't earned, hoping you'll fill in the narrative gaps. |
| New TimesLuke Y. ThompsonIt's a good thing people finally recognized Selma Blair's talent so she could stop making movies like this. |
| VarietyLael LoewensteinAn edgy, energetic romantic thriller in the tradition of "Run Lola Run," "A Life Less Ordinary" and "Out of Sight." |
| Baseline.Hollywood.comTed MurphyDana Lustig has taken a fairly heavy-handed approach, treating the material as if it were the basis of a longform music video ... |
| TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghThe film's liabilities include Lustig's excessive reliance on flashy editing, tacky special effects and a blaring alterna-rock soundtrack that's used to make the characters' thoughts and motivations painfully obvious. Among its assets are the clever premise and generally appealing performances. |
| Mr. ShowbizKevin MaynardThe screenplay never begins to finds a workable balance between wit and adventure. And the performances in several smaller roles are so mechanical that they lend Kill Me Later the tone of a vanity production. |
| New Times (L.A.)Andy KleinDespite the generally likable characters and the abundance of clever ideas, Lustig mucks it all up with her "trick" editing. |
| Boxoffice MagazineMichael TunisonScreenplay gets the job done provided viewers are in the proper frame of mind to accept it as a romantic-fantasy trifle, with only the most tenuous connection to reality. |
| Film Journal InternationalHarry HaunPlausibility is a problem with this would-be-giddy antic about newfound lovers on the lam. |
