The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

OK here we go. I recently saw this film on television and I must say that it was really good. Plot was decent it wasn't such a Hollywood bullshit what I've seen a lot. OK the major reason why I liked this film was Kendra Torgan who did well acting and I didn't mentioned that she completely gorgeous. Yes indeed she with her charisma killed one of the bastards. Maybe yeah budget was low and it messed up really good storyline. So never less Kendra was always in top of the every episode of film and because of that film is watchable. I suggest to watch this film it's quiet good good actor play. But one problem what I still dislike is that Kendra is just underrated actress unfortunately she won't receive a change to get another block buster ~!

Anyone who thinks this movie sucks obviously doesn't get it's deeply cynical and highly entertaining take on the British Gangster film (not to mention american and other european) This is a satirical commentary on Greed, Guns and Sex. Full of ultra-violent gun play our heroin is neither sympathetic nor anti-heroic she merely is. An enigmatic dominant female who isn't going to allow bumbling roughs and sinister masterminds get the better of her. Like Leon (The Professional) she is motivated by payment the intrigues and politics between the waring factions are not her concern. However, she knows how to handle herself. Of course she needs to win out in the end over the dirty deeds of the hired thugs, the dirty cops and the twisted king-pin. In a film filled with nothing but bad-guys shouldn't the woman with the gun and the lack of concern be the winner? I came, I saw, I kicked it's ass then I got paid and went home.

Lacking the gritty tension of other northern gangster movies (eg Get Carter). Could have improved with a bit more humour (the shadow-play & Evian trick were highspots of the movie). Lighting-camerawork did little to create the appropriate drama. I hope we see Kendra in a speaking-role soon.

A smart, involving little movie using only three major sets and a tight cast, Killing Time was a movie that I'm planning on checking out again.The twisty story involves the murder of a cop. The cop's partner hires an Italian hit-woman to kill the man who murdered his partner, but he cannot afford her price so he hires another hit man to kill her off. And then the fun begins.The female assassin is interesting and you can't help but root for her as the hit man and his idiot accomplices plan her demise. The title, Killing Time, fits well too as the passage of time is handled well. While the Assassin waits for her chance to kill her mark, she takes baths, learns English from an instructional tape...all the sort of things one might do to pass the time away.An interesting movie where nobody is the good guy. Check it out, for an appealing heroine, realistic gunfighting, and some great catchphrases. Good stuff!
