As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

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.

Nice to see most of the user reviews for this title have been posted by people in countries where the film isn't even out yet. Way to go supporting independent film, not.This is an exceptionally well made film considering the obviously low budget and the fact that it was filmed in just 9 days (according to the trivia section at least). That's as indie as indie gets and it's pretty shocking that the guys behind this managed to make a such an ambitious movie in such a short time frame, especially one that's both coherent and looks more expensive than I'm sure you'd assume from whatever the budget was.Some very good performances from a cast i'm mostly unfamiliar with. Vinnie Jones is good at doing what he does best, being a hard looking SOB who takes no prisoners. It's refreshing to see him in a good guy role - especially in a lead too for once, but sometimes he's a bit unconvincing when showing his softer side.I'm still mightily impressed how these guys shot a full length movie in less than two weeks but the proof is in the pudding. An at times gripping and suspenseful film with some great lines and well structured action scenes.

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.

Watched this at a friends house and it was cardboard acting at its worse. Should be called "Vinnie Jones Killed This Movie"Not even worth reviewing due to the fact the movie lacked any substance and weak acting abilities to keep me focused. The story was the same old done over time and time again in many other films and Jones with his typical hard man act that has been done to death.. The small amount of cast speaks volumes and that this was done on a tight budget so therefore justified going straight to DVD.. I found myself drifting off in the first 30 minuets from the start but managed to suffer it until the end. Unless you are a fan of Vinnie Jones films then i would spend your money on a far better movie than Kill Kane.Verdict: Do not bother watching.
