Killing Time 720p
As a cynical take on British gangster movies, this film is highly successful.
(***Slight Spoilers!***)
Is it unrealistic? Absolutely. One striking thing about this film is that there are absolutely no bystanders to be seen anywhere. Every single person you see on screen, even in the metropolitan areas, is either a part of the action or a victim of the violence. This movie is entirely "extraless". Deserted subway stations, empty streets, and guestless hotel lobbies are the rule. Hotel guests don't complain about gunfire in the hotel, but they do complain about noisy plumbing when a couple cell phones are flushed down the toilet. And the idea of a hit-woman (who would want to be low-profile and unmemorable) who is strikingly beautiful, dressed like a "Matrix" reject, and who speaks absolutely no English even though she has to carry out a hit in England, does not require further comment.
Does it have any significant backstory or character development? No...absolutely not. You take the characters as you get them. They are cartoons.
Does it demonstrate any moral judgment? Don't worry...nothing challenging in this department either.
So why is it worth seeing?
Well, it is a fairly pure movie in that it has few pretensions other than to mock certain film conventions. There are some deft touches, including several at the end of the movie. The final shot, with the hit-woman "disappearing" over an extended period, is rather memorable, even if pure film-school.
In summary, I have wasted time on supposedly better crime movies (like "The Road to Perdition")and actually enjoyed this film. If you have a chance to see this relatively short and unpretentious movie, I think that you should. Think of this movie as a comedy, or at least the title is. Not only is it killing time, it is also about killing time. This is refreshing take as the violence did not depend on being glorified ala John Woo but instead it went for the BLINK and miss it violence that occurs, but the periods of time between the killing is the joke. I hate to do this and reveal too much but one scene sums the movie up to a 'T'; Maria has turned the tables on an unsuccessful assassin and she kills time by trying to shoot an apple off of his already battered and bruised head. Violence has never looked so chic and menacing at the same time. I don't know if anyone ever wondered while watching movies but I always wanted to know what assassins did after they completed their hit and this shows us that on the outside everything is glossed up, but in the end it is a grind and just like any other job, it becomes routine. Seek out to see when action goes on a budget... now would be a perfect time to remake this flick as a comedy in the current economic time by having Maria taking any killing contract because of a need to earn money and then having to deal with the consequences of greed of the fast buck. Until then, give me the original over any Michael Bay movie.
