Eh. I’ve seen worse and better. Can’t really recommend it but for some beautiful shots of Nice, France. The actors are mostly likeable and attractive, including Tom Sellack’s mustache.

Although it’s not based on a comic book, Killers occupies the same alternate Universe as Salt and Red, er, RED: There is no limit to the extremes someone will go to to kill a person they could have poisoned or suffocated – or tripped – one scene earlier. Wild car chases and machine guns will not endanger any bystanders (there may not be any, no matter the urban setting). If cops show at all, it will be too late. (If the cops arrive in a timely manner, they are either incompetent or corrupt.) Oh, no, I’ve just written a screenplay!

I supposed it’s RED, all caps. RED has an all-star ensemble cast, or is that old-star? Of course, who doesn’t love Bruce Willis or Morgan Freeman. There’s a lot to like here, but it just didn’t overcome my recurring disbelief, of calls put-through, to empty city streets, to vast explosive conspiracies.

This might make an interesting double-bill with Salt, another comic-book-based explosion-fest which is less cute. You can see why Hollywood loves comic books, er, graphic novels. Better comic books than old TV shows, I guess.

[The plus in my rating is for Merri, who liked Red more than I did.]
