Yes, there are better gangster movies.

But this is not a bad movie. Be patient and go along with the story and it's just a fine movie to watch. That is, when you like gangster/thriller movies, with some violence (bad things off camera) and the unavoidable foul language that goes with it.

Worth a watch when you wait until the story develops.

Extreme violence and some confusing plot elements in this crime thriller, but it did keep me engaged throughout with its air of menace.

Liam Hemsworth stars as Moe Diamond, a jeweler and money launderer, whose friend Skunk (Emory Cohen) has hooked him up with some jobs for his mobster uncle (Zlatko Buric). However, Moe and Skunk decide to do a multi million dollar drug deal on the side which goes terribly wrong and all kinds of mayhem will ensue. The twists at the end just add to all the wild and crazy happenings.

Overall, if you don't mind the over-the-top violence, the explicit language, or some confusing plot elements the film did keep me engrossed throughout.

He's done this movie before. Was it the one actually set in the 70s, instead of just having that look,where he was a security guard who always wanted to be a cop or the one where he plays a jersey boy trying to hook up with a spoiled uptown brat? Either way Chris' younger brother, as I like to think of him, loves this type of role as the East coast tough kid far too pretty to be that gangster. He's good in that role too, so if you love the ex-mr. Miley Cyrus, it's cool to call him that too, you'll love the movie cause that's what it's all about. Other than that, it's a predictable crime drama that tries to distract you with a lot of empty action sequences. The film has no feeling to it at all. I never get to a place where I have any emotion towards any of the other characters other than Hemsworth's. The film has a cleaver story but you see it coming from the very beginning which screws it up. So like I said, good enough if you're feeling Liam like that. Me, not really.

Strong performances, intimidating villains, claustrophobic situations; this level of authenticity is very seldom (if ever) found in Hollywood where they go for safe and cheap thrills. There's no superheroes here, no easy resolutions, no good guys. It's all gritty and grey and asphyxiating in its determination to drive the plot forward without relying on the usual stupid (albeit entertaining) tropes.

Somehow, in this age when we've already seen all there's to be seen in such a thoroughly explored genre as this (crime, drugs, gangs), this movie still manages to deliver and I applaud it.

All in all, Realistic: 8, Immersive: 8, Entertaining: 5, Resourceful: 7, Suspenseful: 7.

This movie is the reason you should always judge for yourself and ignore the bad reviews. A lot of people might avoid this movie due to its poor rating, but they'd be missing out. Great movie.

Very underrated. its not winning any Oscars but it doesn't deserve that low score either. some of the acting, screenplay etc.. is not that great which is expected for a small budget movie, but the story overall is good and the movie is fast paced. If you are not looking for perfection its a nice crime thriller with a twist.

The premise of the film is a good one, but the writers telegraph the twist much too early, and then just in case you missed it, they do it again and again. Leaving more to the imagination without such blunt actions would have made a better film.

The fact that this movie is slow adds to the style. If you want a fast action movie watch something from the 80's 90's or early 2000's. If you cannot see that movies have changed a lot since then I'm not exactly sure why you are even bothering to read this review.

The new style of filmmaking is less obvious. We live in a world where more people than you realize do not want to be involved anymore, so we turn to movies and television or just media in general. The big studio productions are wasting all the money, energy and talent into creating obnoxious fantasies of real life that do not represent much at all. I, for one, am sick of that. I grew up on big budget action movies and now every time I see a new one I get bored. We need more small movies like this to take a chance by not pretending it is something it is not, an interesting theme to the movie as well.

It is a very direct approach to filmmaking. Take the story and put it up on the screen. Don't worry about framing everything perfectly and getting 20 guys to fiddle with electric cables and lights. Can we see the actor? Great! Just make an action drama with few elaborate set pieces and don't try to trick people by fancy spectacles. The way the filmmakers combined shots on the streets of New York City with alleyway driving car stunt stuff (not a New York City thing in the least) was very well done and it didn't necessarily take me out of the experience.

The only thing that did take me out of the experience was the music. I hate to say anything specifically bad but it sounded like it was from one of the Jason Borne movies. Just very much out of place.

It is a very solid movie but you won't get any kind of mind-blowing experience here but in a way there is a straightforward method of storytelling here that I think is great. Obviously could've pushed itself further but as I was saying the new trend is for less sensational movies so this type of low budget thing isn't going to be able to afford to take those big risks. I would recommend.

This movie looks like it was made with drug money.

It's just dismal. The acting is back yard acting. The writing is moronic.

And the directing is shaky cam all the way.

It's real garbage.

This is novice writer, director and actor Malik Bader first writing attempt, and yes, it certainly needed tweaking in his screenplay, and the directing wasn't top notch, but for a low budget indie film, I actually enjoyed it - on a lazy Sunday popcorn flick. Casting was decent all around and everyone performed their characters quite well. The score was absent and subtle for the most part, but felt little overwhelming in some scenes. The cinematography was on point and I loved the old 80's themed setting. Certainly not worth all the 1's and 2's... based on the filmmakers repertoire and experience, as well as the low budget, it's well deserving of a 6.5 rounded up to a 7 due to the wannabe critics giving 1 and 2's. I do with the budget was a little bigger to have a seasoned screenwriter and assistant director, as that would've made this film great I'm still trying to find out if this was actually based on true events after reading the closing credits.

Nooo Spoilers!! So Listen up people.. This is one of the very very decent thrillers that has come out in the past 12 months and trust me there has been very few that are well done and when I say we'll done I mean an original story that on its own could keep you on the edge of your seat if someone just told you about it just verbally!!! The story is the movie for me and then comes level of execution relative to the budget thats how I rate them and this one for me gets a straight 7 in that Genre and I rate movies based on Genres and intentions of the movie plus excution ofcourse for how many decent stories were ruined by film makers!!! This is very decent indeed and original and those who say its slow are not appreciating or understanding the idea of the story which is lame to me... Anyways go see it and I know if you are a smart viewer who has seen them all like me you'll definitely enjoy this one considering it's just above small budget but professionally done giving it the kick it needed!

Remember when you were twelve years old and you wrote that awesome action-movie script that had all the guns and drugs and Russian guys and dirty cops and really cool nicknames for everyone? Then you wrote that every line should be either shouted or whispered and all the characters have to look angry all the time and say the "f-word" every ten seconds? Well, somebody green lit it and had Vangelis write the score.

What more can I really say? I personally enjoyed this movie, such an intense thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat. I really enjoyed this movie. It's actually nice to watch a movie with a story and not just going around killing people.

I gave it a '7' because I don't think it was a waste of time at all. It was relatively fast-paced, violent, intense, with good acting and cinematography all around. 'Scarface' it ain't, but that's not what 'Killerman' was attempting to be. Just a solid popcorn urban drug flick to spend 90 minutes with. Worth your while.

Possibly some of the worst acting/dialogue I've ever had the misfortune of experiencing. And, characters you don't care about, with the bonus of a weak, cliche, pointless plot. About halfway through the movie I was so bored and annoyed that I put it on background while I worked, so at least I could make productive use of my time. Just listening to the audio without seeing the actual movie, I was struck over and over by how the voices just didn't sound believable. Completely fake dialogue. No way you could believe they were real people talking to each other. Absolutely ridiculous. And, wow, bad accents, to boot.

The only reason I can see why anyone would have given this movie a positive rating is that they don't know what real acting is, or they have a massive hard-on for Liam Hemsworth. Sorry, eye candy doesn't excuse a worthless, garbage movie.

Camera work is horrific. Who in their right mind directed this?

This movie had GREAT potential. Completely ruined by amateur video. Couldn't even hold the cameras still. The angles and framework were embarrassing. Wish someone else was in charge. This could have been a 10 instead of a 1. STOP trying to be artistic and learn to be professional.

Moe Diamond (Liam Hemsworth) is a jeweller and money launderer for drug dealer Uncle Perico.

His nephew Skunk decides to do some side deals on the money meant to be laundered. They end up tangling with some crooked cops and Moe loses his memory after a car crash.

Trouble arises when Skunk is held captive by the crooked cops. Moe needs to save him and get the money back to Uncle Perico.

Killerman is a cheap looking and a pulpy dull violent action thriller. The story is mediocre and the actors just go through the motions with a weak script.

There is a twist that comes too late in the day. It is almost redundant when it arrives and it is also very bonkers.
