Without a doubt the worst movie I have seen with Gary Oldman in it (innit). It's getting harder and harder to find films worth watching these days. Film making has gone down the same rotten road as music unfortunately!!

andymaranam2 July 2019A bunch off oddball mismatch actors with a poor dialogue & no consistency..just a very bland film basically, which includes some A list actors. Even Gary Oldman couldn't save this mess.

I was just recently thinking to myself, I wonder if I'll ever see Jessica Alba in a film again. Then a few weeks later along comes a film with her in it. And not just that, but an interesting looking concept for a movie. The synopsis reads, "A support group of killers is held regularly. The participants sit in a circle of trust and share their transgressions." That hooked my attention. Sounds like a fun idea for a film, right? Apparently not, because the film was not interesting in the slightest bit.
No film called 'Killers Anonymous' about a group of hitmen telling their stories should ever be close to this dull. It's almost impressive that they managed to achieve that. Throw in the fact that the two big names the movie managed to get, Alba and Gary Oldman, went entirely to waste. Their characters added zero interest to the film incredibly.
Near the end the movie tries to get tricky and complicated but by that point you've already been bored into submission and no longer care. I'm not exaggerating when I say there isn't a single intriguing or watchable character in this movie. Don't be fooled by a couple of big names in the cast, this is pretty much a complete misfire and one to be avoided. -
hasanearth30 June 2019Simply a meaningless and full of crap character Movie. Sometimes i wonder why even they makes this type of movie. I am super frustrated for wasting 1 hour of my life. Alas if i knew that this movie is all about few mental patient sitting in a room and talking some nonsense. huh.

goodtime-336-740812 September 2019Looking thru the reviews of this movie on IMDB there was one of 10/10 (one assumes the director's mother ot a company shill) and one of 8/10 (see above brackets) and even the verbage used in those two are hardly positive. The rest of the reviews rated the movie an average of 2/10, and quite rightly so. No script, pointless story, woeful acting and quite obviously trying way too hard to be Tarantino-esq. Missed by a country mile. This movie was an embarrassing waste of resources unworthy of any further comment.

andy-scully15 July 2019Awful, messy film, Jessica is in it for the first 3 mins of the film. Rest of it is based in a room. Gary Oldman role is just an add on, pointless really. The plot is just rubbish and the ending if it can be called that..? I can only assume this was made for a tax dodge for everyone concerned.

GManfred1 July 2019One of the characters makes this declaration early on, and I couldn't agree more. Clarity is in short supply in "Killers Anonymous", a dreadful indie misfire with a not-half-bad cast of unknown actors apart from Gray Oldman , who should be thoroughly embarrassed. Who wrote this mess? It's hard to determine which is worse, the plot or the script.
A group of killers meets in a sort of an Al-Anon for killers. Someone has tried to assassinate the American President on a visit to London, when suddenly, he staggers into the meeting wounded. I'm not going any further because it gets worse. Of the unlucky cast the only standouts are Tommy Flanagan and Rhyon Nicole Brown. The rest should try to have this film deleted from their list of credits. Gary Oldman escapes intact since his part is so small.
A truly awful movie.
3/10 *** - Website no longer prints my star rating. -
nezbitkn24 July 2019Weird film and you can get lost if you don't pay attention. Very clever though and definitely worth a gander. Happy watching.

fewsternoble6 July 2019This is an absolutely awful movie, could not believe what i was watching. What the hell is Gary Oldman doing in it, really really bad choice of movie to be in, i only gave it 2 for Gary, the rest of the cast were very amateur at best and it looked like they were there just for the pay day. The final part where they were lots of killings played out with Kill Bill type music was just an insult to that great film. Awful beyond belief, save your money and time and skip this one.

darylwoodhouse6 July 2019If you can just appreciate films for a bit of light entertainment and not expect perfection all the time, then this is a really good film. Especially for a low budget.
I get fed up with all those who are so negative and critical about most things. Just relax and chill -
nogodnomasters17 September 2019A group of killers visit and talk about what triggers them to kill. An emergency meeting was held on the night a senator and presidential hopeful was assassinated. Was it somebody in the room? The film then goes to numerous flashbacks as each of the killers tell their story and who is the new girl who remains quiet?
Jessica Alba is in the film for a brief period and Gary Oldman has a role smaller than his billing. Killing is "not just a job, it's an art" we are told and the film leans on the art side. I didn't think they set the ending up that well. "Not a good night to be a bad guy."
Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity. -
And 2019 continues to disappoint...
This is the dumbest most stupid thriller I've ever seen...
It's senseless, plain stupid and boring...
Stay away from this nonsense, it's really not worth it.... -
gringott1 September 2019Complete and utter nonsense. I can say nothing positive about this movie. The movie does serve as a guide to everything that is wrong about the modern movie industry. No wonder people stay home rather than go to the theater. Demand your money back for paying to see this trash.
In case it does not register, I gave this movie a 1/10.
Gary Oldman, you should be ashamed. -
gapingbuttholelicker29 June 2019Like others have mentioned. the actors on the cover are above this, really, they are. Quite a boring movie until the last 10min of movie. The exposition of each character is grueling and obviously time filer. Assumed with this line-up the movie simply cannot suck as bad as it did.
All of that aside, I think Ive had about as much "inclusion as I can bear. I, a minority, a female, not not exactly "straight" as well, enjoy a *bit* of inclusivity, however, does EVERY movie just HAVE to have ALL those things? The movie starts out with a *token* quite vulgar minority lesbian (Jessica Alba), then the "badass" of the movie being yet another *token* over the top ultraviolent woman, and ends with a new *token* badass black woman running the show, taking over from yet (you guessed it) another woman. Other than the behind the scenes guy (Gary Oldman) all the other cast comprises of white males. And guess what? They are ALL killed. This tokenism and lesbians/women/minorities is getting old REAL fast! Theres nothing wrong with ANY of those things inherently, but it has to be in almost every single movie now? And in movies like this where it has almost every single tokenism balled into one movie becoming more and more prevalent, Im starting to get sick of it even faster.. Keep in mind, this is coming from a minority female that fits somewhere in the rainbow spectrum, that should say a LOT.
If I were you, I wouldnt waste my time on this movie. Its an hour and 37min I cant get back.. -
SirFerguson29 August 2019I wasted an hour of my time The reason is that I was misled by putting Gary Oldman on the cover of the film
-
LordCommandar30 June 2019Do not waste your time on a film about killers who never kill, sitting in a room talking about absolutely nothing that makes a story worth watching. This was one of the worst I've seen in 2019, and 2019 has produced a lot of rotten films. Jessica Alba and Gary Oldman were useless for this crap. Their roles were totally uneccasary. This is not even worth a straight to DVD audience. Utter crap. AVOID!

kavonaj24 July 2019Some movies are so terrible that they are almost fun to watch. Other movies are bad but have some hidden pearls in them (ideas worth polishing). This movie is neither. Its' just DREADFUL waste of time. It starts promising (first 3-5 minutes) but quickly makes a wrong turn somewhere and drives cocksurely down the bad-worse-worst alley. Alba is only there in the beginning to reel us in and Oldman (great as he is) is not really part of the movie. Separate parts of the script were written by a uncooperative five year olds with ADHD and director didn't put in any effort. Characters are random, shallow and inconsistent. Actors are on the spectrum from "struggling" to "not even trying". There is one exception: Doctor (Calvin) character is consistent/decently written and superbly performed by Tim McInnerny.
My suggestion: watch the first scene (Oldman & Alba) if you really have nothing better to do with your time, but do yourself a BIG favour and skip the rest of the movie. It doesn't progress... it turns to "WHY!?! WHY on earth would someone waste its time and resources on this".
2/10 AVOID! - Would be 1 if not for McInnerny (Calvin), Flanagan and first 3-5 minutes (Oldman & Alba) scene. -
rjwalker-235994 June 2020This is one of the most darkly funny movies I think I have ever watched. Anyone who has ever been involved with a 12 strep program, and can look objectively at those programs, might enjoy the morbidity of the whole thing. But as it turns out, the program is not a real12 step program but sort of a recruitment/interview/mentoring thing, which is why I found it so amusing.
The acting was mediocre even thought there was some decent actors involved and the attempts at getting the audience to emotionally align with any of the characters was really poor but the overall idea was great. Too bad there was too much randomness to the plot lines adn it fell apart trying to make something of itself. -
ferdmalenfant30 August 2019Here's something you don't see often...Gary Oldman in a badly written and directed film. I can see what they were trying to do with this movie but man did it go off track.

This film get low marks from those with attachments to certain outcomes. I loved this film because it was good enough, very much good enough, to throw me for a loop. It bounced me out on my little "but a bow on it" box. To be blunt, and sorry if I offend anyone, (not sorry at all) this film asked the viewer to see it from the perspective of the characters. Yep, it tapped into the sociopathic facet that exists in all of us and asked us to take a short ride. The quality of acting, because of the choice of cast, was awesome. The actors said yes to this film because they understood the essence of it. God bless them for doing so. We need truths pointed out to us. True artists do just that. Give this little flick a chance. And, be open to the "who gives a f@#%" feel of it all. Your soul will be fine. I promise.

thehatch200230 June 2019Watched this with my wife. Neither one of us even understand what we just watched. What was the plot? This movie is worse than the movie river of darkness. I would be ashamed of myself being associated with it, and I would put it in the corner of the internet to be forgotten.

pjenny-877734 July 2019Wow...this started off with some potential. Then went down really fast. Put aside the typical LBQT ...MNOP representation/script at the start, that just screams 'Tokenism'that exists in everything coming out of PC LaLa-Land nowadays,things get lost really quick. Jessica Alba makes a cameo at the beginning and should of really got some ideas from the U.S wo-mans soccer team on her minuscule role. How bizarre that her name ends up in the credits as if she is one of the leading actors. The best quote of the film was 'You're all here because you're all not there!" Other than that,the dialogue & characters are worthy of a 'Sharknado ' sequel. They either ran out of money,changed directors & writers 3 or 4 times,or the actors had the choice of doing this or a future C grade Steven Seagal movie, when they realized they chose wrong thinking this was going to be better. The question should be asked...where did the $15 Million to make this movie go!.
