Killing Zoe

Rating:
Summary: This Movie ripped my heart out
Review: THis is a GREAT movie. The imagery, and themes of alienation, and loss of control are just amazing. If you are not scared by a lot of violence, and ready to put yourself into a world that is scarier than most horror movies, Definatly go for this movie. It is worth every penny.But rent it first, because if you don't love it, you'll probally hate it.

Summary: Lame
Review: come on! never have i seen a more contrived, indulgent Tarantino rip off in my life. An unoriginal bore with hammy acting, unispired directing and an idiotic story.

Summary: Killing Zoe does NOT live up to the hype.
Review: I've been told a few times what a superb movie "Killing Zoe" is. I was VERY disapointed at this lame, Tarantino imitation. Avary does not know much about writing a script, apparently. It seems that Hhe spent all his time setting up contrived and over used camera angles. He didn't bother throwing in any surprises or even characters that the viewer could empathize with for that matter. Low budget trash. Maltin was right: I've seen better straight to video sleaze than this.

Rating:
Summary: Good direction, bad plot.
Review: Flashy camera work does not make a good movie. This was never more evident than in Avary's "Killing Zoe." The director is obviously a talented director. As a writer, however, he ignores key elements such as character developement, plot twists, and the most important element in any hiest film: the element of surprise. Despite one scene involving an explosion, "Killing Zoe" is frequently predictable and plain dull. If you want to see a good caper movie check out Tarantino's "Resevoir Dogs" or Kubrick's "The Killing."

Rating:
Summary: Leonard Maltin hit the nail on the head.
Review: I agree with Maltin's review completely, it was disapointing and completly average. Considering films such as "Albino Alligator," "Reservoir Dogs," and "In Harm's Way," "Killing Zoe" is nothing special or worth checking out.

Rating:
Summary: Disapointing.
Review: Despite all the talent surrounding "Killing Zoe" I found it to be routine and disapointing. How could the man who helped write the zany, unpredictable rollercoaster "Pulp Fiction" write and direct such a standard, dull movie? This movie rarely held my attention and I felt it was pretentious and contrived. Also, it lacked the surprise and insanity of "Reservoir Dogs," which it frequently seemed to be ripping off and copying off of.

Rating:
Summary: "Killing Zoe" is just average.
Review: "Killing Zoe" is a slow moving bank hiest gone awry film that is no where near as involving or breathtaking as Quenton Tarintino's "Reservoir Dogs," which brilliantly tackles similar material. "Killing Zoe" simpley lacks Tarintino's energetic story telling abilities. It also lacks intresting characters we can relate to, complexity, and plot twists. It contains virtually no character developement and no big twists or turns in the plot. Not to mention the huge holes in logic.

Rating:
Summary: This is a very cool crime-noir movie
Review: Don't listen to Leonard Maltin--a stooge for the Disney Company. This movie surpasses some Tarantino movies with it's nihilistic anti-hero, Eric, who can engender laughs and revulsion at the same time. Plus, if the French have not made Julie Delpy into a national treasure, it shows that they have not learned anything since they guillotined all of the smart people in 1796.

Rating:
Summary: FIVE "GOLD" STARS
Review: This movie has it all. Most movies I think of as "check your brain at the door" but, this movie was thought provoking and thrilling at the same time. It has action, drama, comedy, and believe it or not animation. This movie is well worth checking out and it deserves to be available on DVD. Let this movie be a wake up call to all the "cookie cutter" movie directors and producers.

Rating:
Summary: Stinks
Review: Very disappointing. I'm a big fan of Tarantino/Rodriquez-type films, but this one is flat out stupid. No sympathetic characters, action is blurry. Rent it if you must.
