Generally speaking, the tone is pretty inconsistent here, but I still enjoyed the majority of this movie, even if it’s not totally sure what it wants to be. Sam Jackson does what Sam Jackson does best, Joe Manganiello is a brooding hitman-turned-artist, and Uma Thurman is manic in a very hit-or-miss performance depending on the scene. Tension is well-built throughout and leads to a climax that ties everything together, but in a way that is, perhaps, too clean. Part fine-art satire, part crime comedy, and part introspective study on what it means to be an artist, I just wish The Kill Room had settled into one lane a bit more deeply.

A bunch of actors in search of a script.

I like it, i love how they destroy the whole art thing and its pretentious crap. Yes i do not believe a red canvas is an art to be sold for a million. And other such stupid stuff. It played with that pretty good. Thurman was likeable, one of the few times for me, good chemistry and enjoyed the plot and the ending. Quirky and funny.

So I think I liked this movie lol, the fact I have to say it like that should tell you everything you need. I think the start is done really poorly, but once it gets into it and you know who the players and stakes are, it does have a decent flow and turns into a decent movie. I think Joe Manganiello does the heavy lifting of picking the movie up from being completely average to at least enjoyable enough to not regret your time with. Many better movies out there from 2023, but also many worse movies as well. Not all of it works, but the things that do work, work well enough that I could overlook the things that didn't. Mileage may vary.

I understand the suspense tag. Kept waiting for something to happen but had to turn it off half way, it's just boring and nothing happens.
