It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

The first must-see film of the year.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Did not expect much in the first place before watching 'Kill Ratio'. It sounded interesting, but it did look like a not very well made, ridiculous and by the numbers film with not particularly good actors. Saw 'Kill Ratio' anyway out of curiosity, being intrigued by the idea and having been a lot of low-budget films recently (most not very good to put it lightly). 'Kill Ratio' turned out to be more or less, make that exactly even, what was expected. Except worse. It started off pretty well, giving off the sense that maybe the film won't be bad and be better than it seemed. This didn't stay for long though and it is something of a shame. After the opening, the film went down south catastrophically very quickly and never recovered or improved. Actually got pretty much worse as it progressed. On a visual level, 'Kill Ratio' looked shoddy. Drab and simplistic, with haphazard editing, far from slick photography and very artificial-looking and overused to the point of abuse effects/CGI.The sound/soundtrack are intrusive and obvious and the direction has no sense of atmosphere or pacing, nothing to be thrilled by and nothing much engaging.Script is awkward-sounding and ponderous, with lines that do make one cringe. A lot of it is gibberish and juvenile, with a stilted improvisatory feel that shouldn't have made it past draft stages. On top of that, the story goes through the motions with no tension, suspense or thrills, a lot of intelligence-insulting ridiculousness, implausibility and pacing so dull that it makes a reasonably short length much longer. The action sequences are more preposterous and by the numbers than they are thrilling or fun, a big problem for a film so heavy on this aspect. The terrible way they look also hinder them.Characters are basically every stereotype in the book it seems and are one-dimensional caricatures with no likeability or development and with the inability to behave logically. The acting is very poor all round with a very uncharismatic lead for one. In summary, bad film in almost every way. 2/10 Bethany Cox

James Henderson (Tom Hopper) works as a liaison or fixer, at an up scale Hotel in an Eastern European nation with huge mountains. He lets us know "Cynicism is a sign of intelligence and age." A coup erupts and overthrows the democracy. It operates out of the same hotel. Through a weird plot twist the injured president (Lacy Moore) is hiding out there with the plucky hotel manager Gabrielle Martin (Amy Huberman). She had no idea James is ex-CIA or something not really established, except that he has "kill ratio" an unlimited amount of people he is authorized to kill by....someone.Yes only Tom Hopper stands between Democracy and military dictatorship by defeating a small army in the corridors of a hotel. Amy Huberman had a good character and did well with her lines. There were a lot of positives to the film including dialogue and negatives including dialogue, especially the line, "Lower your weapons. They're civilians." Seriously? In Eastern Europe? The entire production is filmed inside of the hotel, except for that one scene where James steps out for a cigarette. The movie was somewhat entertaining, but uneven. Soft 3 stars.Guide: F-word. Attempted rape. Nudity (Michelle Lehane)

"Kill ratio" is an American movie from 2016 and this one here is really very very new at this point. It runs for slightly under 90 minutes and was directed by Paul Tanter and written by Steven Palmer Peterson and time will tell if it becomes one of their most known works. The lead actor is Tom Hopper and I cannot say I am familiar with him or with any of the other actors in here, but I guess he is physically fine for the part and also his performance is pretty decent overall. Nothing too great or deep, but he works the part, which is a solid achievement as he is in almost every scene of the film. And same can be said about the film overall. You should not check this one out if you are looking for great depth or meaningful character development, but it has some guilty pleasure potential and people who like film's à la Liam Neeson's "Taken" can have a pretty solid time with this one I guess. It is the story of a contractor who is in a foreign country at the very time a military coup happens. And as an unstoppable one man army, he makes his way helping to finish the bad guys and bring the former president back to power while getting rid of the radical military leader. It's all pretty generic and stereotypical really and also predictable, also with the hot women (moaning all the times because of how much they suffer, I am sure this was not meant the way it sounded haha) surrounding our hero, but sometimes films like these can be really solid too if you are in the mood. Like I said, don't go into this one with too high expectations and you can spend a fairly enjoyable 85 minutes I am sure. That's why my overall verdict on this film is a thumbs-up. I recommend checking it out.

'KILL RATIO': Three Stars (Out of Five)A low-budget B-action flick; about a badass American covert operative, that's trying to defend the president of a poor European country against a ruthless military takeover. The film stars Tom Hopper, as the heroic badass, and it costars Amy Huberman, Lacy Moore, Nick Dunning, Brian McGuinness and Luke Pierucci. It was directed by Paul Tanter (a veteran of the genre), and it was written by Steven Palmer Peterson (a debut screenwriter). The film reminds me of the type of bad B-action flick I grew up on (one of the less memorable ones though); so in some ways it's kind of nostalgic, but it's mostly just bad. Hopper plays James Henderson, a highly skilled (and somewhat witty) U.S. covert operative; that's on assignment in a small European country (with an unstable democracy). The country has recently elected a new President (Moore), who promises to bring new hope to the people there. The general of the corrupt country's military, General Lazar (Dunning), wants to do away with the new democracy though; by killing the President, and anyone else that gets in his way. He didn't count on James Henderson though (of course).The film is exactly like so many 80s action movies that I watched as a kid, the kind that used to play repeatedly on TBS (most of them starring Chuck Norris or Dolph Lundgren). Hopper is definitely charismatic in the lead, and he thinks he's pretty funny. He doesn't have what it takes to be a big star though, but he could definitely keep doing direct-to-video movies like this (and TV, which he's already doing). The director and writer should probably stick to this genre as well. The movie is mildly entertaining, but I think you have to be a pretty big fan of the the genre to even get that out of it.Watch our movie review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GhHTPB4y30
