Clevercell Very disappointing...

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

leonblackwood Review: This is another one of those cheap, "straight to DVD" movies from Vinnie Jones, which will be quickly forgotten. He plays a happily married, family man who witnesses a murder, which is committed by a bunch of gangsters, in the middle of nowhere. The gangsters then set out to make sure there wasn't any witnesses to the crime, and they brutally murder Ray Brookes (Vinnie Jones), family, right in front of him. The leader of the gang, Kane Keegan (Sean Cronin), thinks that he has killed Ray but he manages to survive, and he sets out to get revenge. That is the basic gist of the storyline! Vinnie Jones is playing his usual "tough nut" type of role, with a cockney accent, and the rest of the cast, put in pretty poor performances. I can totally understand why Vinnie Jones went on a killing spree but what shocked me was that the gangsters that he was killing, didn't seem to care that he survived and had a gun pointed to there heads. Anyway, I personally didn't think that it was that great and it just goes down as another badly made movie, by Vinnie Jones. Maybe he should go back to playing football! Disappointing!Round-Up: It's obvious that Vinnie Jones, 51, only stars in these terrible movies to pay bills, because he honestly can't think that these low budget movies are going to do his career any good. His first taste of stardom in big movies like X-Men: The Last Stand, Swordfish, Snatch, Lock Stock, Gone in 60 Seconds etc, really does seem long ago now, and his acting skills haven't really progressed since he became an household name, after his great performance in Lock Stock in 1998. Anyway, it might do him some good if he changes his agent because these movies are going from bad to worse. This is the first major release from Adam Stephen Kelly, who also wrote this movie, which doesn't say a lot about his script writing skills. For his first major project, it's passable but the sketchy script really wasn't that great.I recommend this movie to people who are into their crime/thrillers starring Vinnie Jones, Nicole Faraday, Sebastian Street, Sean Cronin and Dan Richardson. 2/10

zardoz-13 Adam Stephen Kelly made his directorial debut with "Kill Kane," a brutal British crime thriller about revenge. Andrew Jones, Christian Sellers, and Adam Stephen Kelly penned the hardboiled screenplay that synthesizes elements of the Charles Bronson movie "Death Wish" and the Steven Seagal movie "Hard to Kill." Clocking in at 74-minutes, this grim bit of business doesn't beat about the bush. Our resilient hero gets lost while driving around on a family outing and pulls over to fish a map out of the trunk of his car. He witnesses--through a hole in a fence--the execution slaying of a low-life criminal, Tommy (Mitchell Fisher), in a backlot. Poor Tommy—it seems—suffered from loose lips, talking too much about his own gang. Before Noonan (Dan Richardson of "Retribution") pulls the trigger on a kneeling Tommy, he comments "But sometimes a potter has got to know that the clay he's working with is just no good." Unfortunately, the villains spotted the van that our father figure, a gym teacher Ray Brookes (Vinnie Jones of "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels") who has been teaching for fifteen years. Miraculously, Ray survived a fatal gunshot wound and spent three months in a coma. This is where "Kill Kane" opens as Ray recovers in the high dependency unit of a local hospital. Of course, Ray refuses to cooperate with the authorities because he believes that they cannot offer him adequate protection from the gangsters. British Detective Inspector Shelby (Sebastian Street of "Vehemence") questions Ray about the criminals, but Ray keeps his mouth shut. After he recovers from his coma, Ray has to contend with Shelby again, who wants him to testify against the criminal. Ray turns him down. Ray hunts down Billy Malone (newcomer Benjamin Way) and stabs him to death. Afterward, he catches up with the dastard, Conner O'Brien (Conor Boru of "Spiked"), who capped his daughter Victoria Brookes (Sarah Alexandra Marks of "Illegal Activity") at point blank range in the head. Ray tangles with the ringleader of the ruffians, Kill Keegan (creepy looking Sean Cronin of "The World Is Not Enough"), but Shelby intervenes in their standoff showdown. He tries to convince Ray to stand down, but our protagonist guns Kane down while Shelby watches. Shelby advises Kane to clear out of town. Predictably, Kane ignores Shelby and shows up the next day at Frank Noonan's bar where he confronts Noonan (Dan Richardson of "Retribution") and blows his head off.Mind you, "Kill Kane" is not a lighthearted lark. Murderers with no qualms about killing shoot harmless innocents at close range and appear to enjoy their acts of mayhem. Adam Stephen Kelly never lets the action loiter. Jones is his usual brawny self, but he elicits sympathy as the father left without a family. Meantime, Cronin makes a terrific villain. Shelby is good as a sympathetic cop who lets our hero off the hook. Reminiscent of the Michael Caine gangster movie "Get Carter," except Vinnie survives the fracas. This no-nonsense crime thriller isn't as awful as some of the user critics claim. Although he covers familiar ground, director Adam Stephen Kelly doesn't bore us with a lot of meaningless details. He goes for the gut, and "Kill Kane" never wears out its welcome.

Tim Morris I cannot agree with those that have gone before! Remember that, as it says in the trivia, this was shot in only 9 days, and this must be taken into account when judging a low-budget movie like this. There are bits that might have been better handled differently, but it is an action movie that hits the right spot. The acting is convincing and of a high standard, the stress to the family of their impending destruction being very real in those scenes. It is great to see the overdue return of Nicole Faraday to the screen! So, in summary the ingredients are right the acting is top rate the suspense is grippingWhat's not to like? It will be a great pleasure to see further productions from this team, who clearly show great promise.

duvernetphotography Vinnie hits a new low, very low. I couldn't even get through twenty minutes of it before giving up. Charles Bronson's version of the same concept was so much better. There is no plot because the suspense required to carry it is given away in the summary and there is little surprise at any point in this movie. Vinnie is your basic brute in everything I've ever seen him and he follows a typical path of blood and punishment. The only difference here is that the script is so bad and the scenes so disjointed in an effort to be dramatic that it becomes worse than comical or even satirical. It would have been a better movie to go all out on the satire of the genre. There are no redeeming features to this movie. Even the English accents can't hide how bad it is. Trouble is, the actors are doing their best in an otherwise copy cat movie with a generic script. They don't have much to work with. Vinnie should have run as far as he could from this "movie". He is capable of something better.
