i must have seen a different film!!

Good concept, poorly executed.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Have said this before but it is worth repeating.You can opt to review a film when it comes out. Everything is fresh and new. The film has to compete not with posterity, not with the future, but simply with the other films of its release date.Or, to make things more complex, you can let a few years go by and check out the film a few times in the interim. Here the film is the same but the goalposts change. The film may or may not get better each time you see it. It is no longer competing with the films of its year but rather with all films of all years.I chose to use the second method to review Killers and frankly that makes all the difference.The two stars were at their peak. Neither one is actively playing leads in romcoms at this time. But they looked gorgeous.The story is cute, the script is cute, the locations are to die for and the direction is friendly.The film holds up remarkably well and my guess is it will continue to do so for years to come.

This comedic spy flick starring Katherine Heigl and Ashton Kutcher and Tom select and Catherine O'Hara was surprisingly very entertaining despite very negative reviews. The action sequences were very violent and intense just how I like them, and Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl's chemistry between each other as a married couple was perfect, I found myself laughing throughout the film! Also Tom Selleck and Catherine O'Hara did a great job too, along with Alex Borstein, she was very fitting and very hilarious and her role. There was a couple of scenes that had missed placed jokes that fell flat, but that was rare. I really don't know why this movie got negative reviews. Eight out of 10 for killers

The Killers (2010): Dir: Robert Luketic / Cast: Ashton Kutcher, Katherine Heigl, Tom Selleck, Catherine O'Hara, Martin Mull: Mindless torture comedy with a title that refers not just to the married couple, but also to every single nitwit they cross paths with. Katherine Heigl plays a newly single woman on vacation with her parents. She meets handsome stranger Ashton Kutcher whom she immediately hooks up with then director Robert Luketic bolts us quickly into three years of marriage. Suddenly Heigl learns that her true blue husband is a spy when neighbors, friends, the postman, co-workers, the kitchen sink, etc, tries to kill them. Luketic previously made the underrated comedy Win a Date With Tad Hamilton, and also directed Heigl in the smash hit The Ugly Truth. Here he is all over the place and nothing makes sense. Kutcher seems too young to play this spy whose past catches up with him. Heigl says the wrong things and her little truce circle is completely ludicrous. She learns that she is pregnant right around the time Kutcher discovers that his boss is dead. Tom Selleck and Catherine O'Hara share in the shame as Heigl's parents whom she is constantly relying on. The twist regarding Selleck isn't much of a surprise, and O'Hara's reaction will be ours if alcohol is handy concluding this film. Martin Mull is a waste as Kutcher's boss but one can be sure that this is not how he wants to conclude his career. The action is well done but hardly makes up for the constant irritation of double crosses. It could have been a satire about marriage but instead it is a film fit for knife throwing practice. Score: 2 / 10

i know..i watched a movie with 2 of my least favorite stars.. Katherine Heigl and Ashton Kutcher..and i wasn't even drinking! Something about her i can't state what makes her movies crap.. she just either isn't believable or likable or both! She again in this movie is o.k.. Ashton Kutcher is his typical douche bag self..nothing special.. If i had to pick something good out of this craptastic film it was Tom Selleck as Heigl's father.. Reminded me of his "Magnum P.I." days. Katherine Heigl i don't think was destined to be a movie star.. She should stick to television or at least work with a stronger actor in the lead role.. i say all this but it wasn't the worst movie i have seen.. maybe she will get better...who knows?
