The Killing Ratings & Reviews

  • cultfilmlikerJuly 28, 2025
    Little too much dame drama in the first half imo Casting this guy in Dr. Strangelove was perfectly brilliant. Watched on an iPad on the way home from a Joe Pera show
  • Mister ArnMay 16, 2025
    An intelligent heist film with lots of fun twists and turns to make the story more enjoyable.
