I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Had relatively high hopes for this as I adored Nicholas Hoult as X- Men's Beast as well as the adorable zombie in 'Warm Bodies'.I haven't read the book, so I can't speak for the source material and how it compares, but this film was dreadful.I get that his character - the protagonist- is meant to be a misanthropic sociopath, but at no point is he engaging on any level. At no point did I feel like I cared about anything he said or did. It was just boring and sad. I started painting my nails after five minutes in.Even his inevitable 'break down' was tedious. I couldn't give a monkey's as he drank and drugged himself to near death in his underwear while whinging along to 'Karma Police' (am astonished Radiohead gave the rights to their epic video for this piece of crap).Seriously, don't waste your time.If you want to see a British 'misanthrope tricks, manipulates and destroys people' film, watch 'Filth' or 'Naked' - these are wonderful and essential viewing.The one star rating is for the very brief, bumbling role played by the always lovely James Corden and the wide-eyed young talent scout played by the equally sweet and talented Craig Roberts. Also, the performances by fictional indie band 'The Lazies' were great (Freda Sundemo is fantastic here), but just look these up on You Tube rather than sit through this drivel. Plus, the little dog was cute (RIP).I laughed once - when the chorus of a highly inappropriate Euro dance track is debuted at a meeting. That was it.

"Kill Your Friends" is very good remake of "American Psycho". If you liked American Psycho - you won't regret watching "Kill your Friends". There are even some really cool references in the movie.In the end - the whole movie has a very dark and bizarre but still entertaining flair. Quite often during the movie I had the feeling of thinking that there is nothing anymore which could shock me and then BAM - something happened and my mind was blown away. A bit similar to the unpredictability in Game of Thrones.Oh and Nicholas Hoult's performance is pretty good. I liked the way they made him speak his thoughts into the camera and even redid some scenes so they matched his sometimes very bizarre thoughts/conscience.

The movie was somewhat interesting in the beginning only because it was very similar to "American Psycho". However, after so many drug scenes, it just got plain boring. The characters are very good looking and are rather interesting. However, the plot just seems so disjointed that their efforts just tend to fall flat. I think a different script would have been extremely helpful as well. There are only so many f bombs and sexist insults you can stand. The main character was really complicated and intriguing. I wish the film had developed his character more than focusing on other aspects.By the way, use the subtitle feature so you can understand the dialogue. British brogue is very hard to understand. I am planning to read the novel to see if it is any better!!

Love British black humour or find something else to watch. This is black, sly, and so very not pc that it is wonderful. Nicholas Hoult is no longer that cute little boy from the movie with HG. He's grown a hunky sex body and is picking films to get away from the boy next door roles (Skins), and into the male leading man category. Kill Your Friends moves him up that ladder and then some but the film has its flaws. As Steven Stellfox, Hoult is shallow and ambitious as A & R manager for a troubled British recording company, and he's not about to be penalized for his mistakes in music taste or judgements. Breaking the fourth wall, audiences are given his motivation and maliciousness in a gleeful narration that bares industry attitudes toward the production of milquetoast musical arrangements geared toward the mindless messes. Stylish and greedy, Stellfox's moves to advancement are not for the squeamish, but in Hoult's presentation, they are delightful to watch. Like a lot. Hysterical and entertaining for the bent in us all.
