A Killer of Men Audience Reviews

Jeanskynebu the audience applauded
Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
bob the moo If you saw 5 minutes of this as a clip without context, you may not believe that this is "only" a short film ("only" not being the way I would see it, but many still view short films as somehow the preserve of those on their way up, or their way down). The reason for this is that the film feels like a very much bigger affair by virtue of how strong its production values are across the board. The film is set in a post-apocalyptic America, which it must be said is a very common setting for short films, but not one where it is always done well. In this case the film looks the part from the bigger location in the Nevada desert, down to smaller touches in set design, costumes and such – I was once a big player of the Fallout games, with its immersive destroyed world of survivors, and this short film did a remarkably good job of delivering a similar feel.It also has a violent, dark heart (mostly) which I found engaging and satisfying, but the nature of the running time and the ambition of the piece does mean we have very little time for characters, relationship dynamics, and motivations to be established. This does hurt the film and ultimately you don't really care too much about anyone, nor do the villains really have a presence beyond that of their physicality. The repeated catchphrase (kindness etc) starts to feel a bit clunky after a while since it is said in an emotional void for the viewer, and while it remains viscerally and visually engaging, there was certainly a lot of gaps on the more base level of story-telling.I read online that this film is currently looking to expand into a possible feature, which if they can deliver as they did here, but use that time to really expand the world and characters then, although perhaps familiar as a genre and idea, it would make a pretty strong proposal.
sheilaslater The performance by Joseph D. Reitman makes this an outstanding film. The Isaiah character could have become "camp" very easily. Reitman's performance makes the character pure cold evil and frighteningly believable. The rest of the cast also present good, solid performances. The dusty, lonely desert locations add just the right backdrop for a story of desolation of our civilization. While the story isn't new, it's told much better than most post-apocalyptic movies relying more on character studies rather than chase scenes and crashing cars. Thank God that Isaiah's mantra is not that of most of the world's population. I've heard that this film could be made into a full length feature. I hope that's true; it would be a good one, especially with Reitman in the Isaiah role.
