This film is terrible. It is the very definition of everything wrong with British cinema and I can hardly believe it was given funding, let alone all of the great reviews it has had in the press!!! I wouldn't recommend 'Kill List' to anyone but film students and enthusiasts who would like to witness a masterclass in how not to make a movie.
The writing is incredibly lazy; no attempt is made at a coherent story, 'Kill List' feels like two entirely different films clumsily stuck together with the ending completely discarded. There isn't a single character that the audience can empathise with. The dialogue feels unnatural and so quiet and muffled in places you can barely make out what is being said.
The camera-work was amateurish; very few establishing shots were used, there was no variety in shots at all and the documentary style 'shaky cam' and shallow depth of field made the film feel cheap.
The editing wasn't great either with a massive overuse of jump cuts and black gaps between scenes which felt like mistakes.
'Kill List' is the worst film I have seen in a long time, the writers and director should be ashamed. I implore you not to waste your money and 90 minutes of your life on this garbage.
