Great Kills

About This Movie

So, 'Great Kills' is this intriguing dark comedy that plays with the mockumentary format. You have a lonely hitman at the center, who's just a mess really, and then these filmmakers who are almost sinister in their detached pursuit of shocking footage. The pacing kinda lulls you into this false sense of mundane life, only to jolt you with absurd moments of violence that are just so ridiculous they make you question everything. Performances lean into the awkwardness, adding layers to that empty existence. The practical effects are minimal but effective, grounding the absurdity. There's a biting commentary on our own apathy towards violence, and it all feels a bit uncomfortable, which is... well, kind of the point.
