Killing Time

About This Movie

Killing Time (2023) offers a gritty, raw look at a hitman’s life in Sheffield. The film’s atmosphere is dense, punctuated by the mundane yet unsettling backdrop of the city. It plays with pacing; moments of tension are interspersed with slower chunks where you really feel the weight of the protagonist's decisions. The practical effects are solid, lending a realism that you don’t often see in the genre. The performances are pretty grounded, especially how the lead carries that blend of detachment and inner turmoil. What stands out is the stark exploration of time—how it slips away between jobs, and how every moment feels charged. It’s not just a thriller; it’s a meditation on the choices we make.
