Summary: Absolutely brilliant!!!
Review: All those who think it's just another Tarantino rip-off should know that both directors worked together in the same video store before making it big, were co-writers on Pulp Fiction and basically have helped each other out on several projects. It's just that Tarantino made his name first that everyone assumes Avary's work is copying it. Not true. This movie is amazing! The acting is superb - Jean-Hughes Anglade gives the most charismatic performance I've ever seen. It's shot brilliantly starting with neutral shades, to the blue night club scene and finally descending into the red bank scenes that symbolize Eric's own demented and violent mind. Been scapegoated for Hollywood's violence, really no more than tons of other flicks - I think the violence embedded in Eric's mind is what makes it seem so disturbing, not the actual physical violence. Julie Delpy and Eric Stoltz also give maybe their best performances to date. See this many times!!!

Summary: Great crime film
Review: "Killing Zoe" has to be one the most violent films, but oddly my favorite. Its the story of an American safecracker who gets out of prison and travels to Paris to rob a bank with his French friend, Eric. There he meets a prostitute named Zoe who happens to work at the bank they rob. The robbery is one of the most bloody in movie history with them gunning down anyone that gets in the way. At first I was uncomfortable with that but the story unfolds in a way that is so compelling you can't stop watching. Jean-Hughes Anglade was incredible in his portrayal of the evil Aids stricken Eric with no respect for human life. Eric is probably the most interesting character in the film. He's so ruthless and convincing that he's the one thing that makes this movie so great.There are also funny moments like the Billy Holiday albums, their night at the jazz club, the Viking movies and the little monkey. The movie is bizarre at times but its definitely unique. All in all, its a great film that I watch over and over again.

Summary: I wish I was Zoe!
Review: I wish I was Zoe so that someone would have killed me before I started watching this drivel.
This film was reccomended to me and all I can say is I'm glad I didn't pay to see it.
Quentin Tarantino and Lawrence Bender produced this. I must admit, I find that very hard to believe. Not because of the slow pace, crappy story and characters (Although that is surprisng for those two) but it's the incredible lack of money that surprised me most of all. Don't get me wrong on this, I don't care if a film is made on pennies. BUT IT HAS TO BE GOOD.
Robert Rodrigiez made El Mariachi on seven thousand dollars. This looks like it was made on seven cents.
I personally think that this film was no more than one of Tarantino's old Video archives buddies asking for a bit of money to make a film. Tarantino being the nice guy that he supposedly is, not to mention a film addict, was curious to see what his friend would produce. Now it went one of two ways.
Either Tarantino and Bender gave him the money and left him to do the whole thing on his own without any tip offs, or the guy just kept all the money, went to the local supermarket to pick up a crappy video camera (cos that's what it looks like) and shot the film without a care in the world eagerly awaiting the rap party.
Anyway I f you find all this hard to believe (Just like I did) then get hold of this and find out yourself. But make sure you do yourself a favour and when you start to get incredibly bored, turn the film off. Take my advice, It doesn't get any better. I would be surprised if Lawrence Bender and Quentin Tarantino didn't agree with me!

Summary: craziness
Review: You guys are nuts. Killing Zoe may not be the bank robbery film that Heat is, but it has many more aspects to it, namely gratuitous sex, drugs, and violence. Yes, the bathroom scene is a little much, and the movie is unrealistic. But if you're going to movies to experience realism, what's the point? Just walk outside. Killing Zoe is a perfect distraction for any of you out there who, like me, are to entrenched in reality to fly to Europe and take heroin for the first time the night before a bank robbery you didn't plan for at all. I'm personally insulted by the stupidity that would be necessary to call this movie predictable, simply because I didn't anticipate it was possible for such a level of it to exist and I hate it when I realize that dumb people still have the capability of suprising me. This movie is a classic.

Summary: Killing The Audience
Review: Predictable from the first 5 minutes into the movie. Overdone plot about a robbery gone wrong and the safe-cracker hero who has a heart. Nothing original here except for scenes so vulgar and tasteless that it would make Howard Stern turn in disgust. The script is nil and the acting less than stellar. The conincidences purposefully placed in the film to support the plot are too great to be credible and the action too dull to keep it interesting. I frankly could have done without the grotesque heroin-induced sodomy scenes. Watch "Heat" instead if you want to see a great bank heist film. Don't waste your time or money on this one, it's a sleeper at best: A negative rating is called for.

Summary: entertaining enough
Review: Now i'm a big fan of Qeuntin Tarantino(who isn't)he has a style
that is all his own with american classics like Pulp Fiction,
Reservoir Dogs(both written and directed by Tarantino)and the
writer behind the entertaining True Romance and From Dusk Till Dawn he turned the indie film scene into a cult phoenomenon.He
lent a hand in this as a executive producer and the film was
pretty good.Roger Avary(co-writer of Pulp Fiction)did good with
the writing/directing with this.Alot of violence,profanity,and
the usual drug use the movie is entertaining but Avary is no
Tarantino.fans of Pulp Fiction,Point Break,Die Hard,etc.rated R
for strong violence,pervasive languege,drug use,and sex.

Summary: A SANGUINE CONFECTION
Review: Bask in the hallucinatory nature of this orgiastic hypnagogic bloodbath and you will come out a placated child with a piece of carnal/carnage eye candy. The delectable Julie Delpy will make you salivate through the transcendental soul-corrosive dementia, as Gary Kemp monomaniacally riffs on Patrick MacGoohan in "The Prisoner", Eric Stoltz basks in the drugs, as acid-drenched Dixieland jazz blares in the background, a siren to implore you through the looking glass. And Jean-Hugues Anglade chews each frame with a lip-smacking, decadent Weimar appeal. Prepare to have your nerve endings snapped, "Killing Zoe" is the motherlode. God bless you, Roger Avary, bludgeon our senses one more time....

Summary: Whipped Zed
Review: I really loved this movie but I can't quite figure out why the men in these films are always so whipped and so weak. I mean if you eliminate Julie Delpy's character from this movie then you might have a much more interesting outcome.
How about Eric Stoltz's character gets really into drugs and doesn't fall for stupid Julie cuz she is not even in the movie. Then he and the french guy make a run for it at the end after they have robbed the bank. They kill everyone and get away and then move to some country where they do drugs all the time.
You see, then they would be real criminals.
These movies always give someone who is essentially a criminal a cheap way out. I mean if he's gonna rob the bank he should not be saved just because of some lousy blonde mousy chick who works at the bank. Another killer with a conscience...it just doesn't play well with me
In real life everyone probably would have been killed. I just hate yucky love scenes between icky sweet characters who have just killed like ten people and they are covered in gore and it's all, "Oh darling, I just love you so much!!'
Ugh it's enough to make a man hurl.
Other than that I think this movie is great.
TRUE ROMANCE is much more realistic for a good criminal ROMANCE picture. This movie works completely because the french guys performance is so over the top and crazy.

Summary: SLOW AND DULL
Review: Film is a pulp fiction type. Very dull and slow in plot development. Bank robbery scene is compelling but also a tired retread. Bottom line is boredom. Not worth the time to watch. save yourself and skip this one. . .
Rating:
Summary: hardcore fun
Review: If you the kind of movie watcher who is in to fast
paced get to the action films like True Romance,
Pulp Fiction,or Reservoir Dogs you'll love Killing
Zoe.A Tarantino style but Avary co writer of Pulp
Fiction did great with the writing and directing of
this.Eric Stoltz gives a stellar performance as Zed
the ex con american safecracker,and Jean Hughes also
gives a great performance as Eric the violent,and
careless freind of Zed.Filled with graphically violent
action,fast profane dialogue,and great charactors Killing
Zoe is an all around great movie.
