Synopsis

Her goldfish dead, her lover exposed as a rat, Shawn Holloway leaves her bank post and goes to the roof intent on suicide. Before she can leap, she's taken hostage by Charlie Anders, a fleeing bank robber. He and his partners have stolen a million in cash and plan to escape to Venezuela. Shawn agrees to cooperate if Charlie promises to kill her once he's in the clear. Parts of the plan go awry, so Charlie has time to try to pierce her bleak manner and self pity, and she has time for reflection. As night falls, their interlude ends: they're each alone, Charlie facing prison as the police close in, and Shawn staring down at a river from atop a high bridge.

Pluskylang Great Film overall
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Freaktana A Major Disappointment
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
ramsbodane I'm quite happy to admit that I only watched 'Kill Me Later because it starred Selma Blair and I happen to think she's rather cool (despite 'Hellboy', but I'm happy to chalk that down to a bit her right of a laugh at work). Dana Lustig balances out 'Kill Me Later' with all the food groups necessary to make a motion picture work, pulling together some great performances with an original script and well thought out characters. It's theme stems from the tested movie setup: Two people living out the worst day of their respective lives meet. Gradually add hilarious or terrifying situations as required... But this is turned on it's head to satisfy the black comedy needs of 'Kill Me Later'. I'm fairly sure that the intent of the film is not to make suicide seem funny, so your allowed to laugh.
AnnieThePirate This movie was good for the down to earth girl that I am. I loved the way it saw the emotions of the characters. I stay up late whenever it's on just to watch it again. I love how it ends and I love the storyline. It was good because the story was different and intriguing, but still had good old-fashioned love that makes you come back for more. I love the lead characters roles, they were magic together.
Amber Kill me Later has a concept that has been done to death. The script is a bit immature, but still very much enjoyable. Both Max Beesely and Selma Blair pull in solid performances in this piece. One thing that's enjoyable about this movie is that all of the characters are generally relatable. Selma Blair's Shawn is utterly pessimistic, While Max Beesely's Shawn is hopelessly optimistic about things. The film may be a little contrived but the ending is a little more realistic. It's sweet, it's funny and at moments, you'll want to cry. An enjoyable film.
tigerasian711 When I heard of the actor Max Beesley and found out he was in a movie with Selma Blair so I rented it @ Hollywood Videos and I watched for about 3 times already. It's a great dark comedy and pretty romantic. I like that it's not like most movies where the main characters are swapping spit for like more than half the movie. The movie is really sweet and I think Selma Blair and Max Beesley are great actor/actress
