Directors Kimo Stamboel and Timo Tjahjanto — collectively known as the Mo Brothers — skillfully handle the moral complexity of the script by Tjahjanto and Takuji Ushiyama. With some of its biggest twists happening out of focus and in the background, the film rewards the most observant viewers. Read full review

At heart a repulsive slash-and-bash with philosophical pretensions, Killers is classed up considerably by strong acting, a multi-strand plot and a tone that’s both nihilistic and mournful. Read full review

Amateurishly realized sensationalism trumps character-driven drama throughout Killers. Read full review

Killers is the most gorgeous-looking torture porn film I have ever seen — and has a couple of tremendous action sequences. But it is also thoroughly disgusting. Read full review

Incredibly violent film which does ask some interesting questions. A sequence where one of the homicidal maniacs dispatches a vile pimp with some shears is actually quite enjoyable

Fun violence, a compelling performance from Kazuki Kitamura that elevates a cliche character, and a cool sense of style are unfortunately dragged down by a pretty weak script. Oka Antara's character arc would be interesting if it wasn't presented in such a hard-to-believe way. The script isFun violence, a compelling performance from Kazuki Kitamura that elevates a cliche character, and a cool sense of style are unfortunately dragged down by a pretty weak script. Oka Antara's character arc would be interesting if it wasn't presented in such a hard-to-believe way. The script is packed with moments large and small that don't make sense or just don't quite add up, including the whole impetus for the core plot with Bayu uploading the murder footage. It's also way too long. I thought for sure I was watching the final scene, then the movie just moved on to other things and kept going for another half hour.

The plot doesn't fully work but the Mo Brothers are strong enough visual directors (and I've especially enjoyed Timo's solo work) to likely keep you invested and engaged despite the shortcomings.… Expand
