Killing Zoe

Summary: Add This To Your Collection!!!
Review: This bold and sexy crime thriller reminds me of the raw script and visuals of "Natural Born Killers". Though you may squirm in your seats (or opt to pace the room) while you watch this unnerving drama, it is a sober reminder that there are people out there that have no respect for life and limb. Eric Stoltz, Jean-Hugues Anglade and Julie Delpy (as Zoe) are awesome. The title does no justice to this film...though Zoe is the thread that keeps it alive...emotional...entrancing...and sexy. It is raw and unsettling. I first saw this on cable. I bought the DVD and the picture quality and sound was enhanced 200%. I hate to give away storylines...just as much as I hate to read about storylines before I watch a flick. So I won't. If you like crime films...flims that set the stage for the perfect crime and follow through with those plans to the very finish..."Killing Zoe" is for you. It's definitely a killer. Don't rent it...BUY IT! You'll watch it over and over again.

Summary: Fast paced action film that is amazingly twisted
Review: This early Tarentino Flic has all the elements of a great Tarentino action Movie. We start the movie with Eric Stolts, the American in France, has come to pull of a hiest with his French friend. There's lots of killing, guns, romance and intreague. If you like Tarentino movies, or just love an amazing action movie, this is a must buy.

Summary: Strange but compelling
Review: This has been a long-time favorite movie of mine... it's visual style and frantic pace provide a good movie experience without ever going over the top and becoming completely unbelievable. While never becoming completely detached from reality, the movie does provide some euphoric moments... dream-like sex scenes, and drug-induced trance sequences set the mood for the bank robbery that the story revolves around. Comparisons to Tarntino could also be made, as Killing Zoe shares much of his gritty realistic view of criminals and the environment they live in. Highly recommended; for the price this is a must-own DVD.

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: cult classic
Review: This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. I have seen all those movies written, produced, or directed by Tarantino and they are all great. However, I am impressed with this one the most. It is definitely the best bank robbery film ever made. There are some very shocking scenes that are totally awesome. check it out

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.

Summary: Don't listen to Leonard Maltin
Review: This movie is better than Pulp Fiction. That is a bold statement but Avary is undoubtably one of the best writer\directors around. This movie draws you in completely and makes you want to rob banks. I can personally say that it led to my arrest for attempted auto theft. That being said, don't be scared. Rent or buy this movie immediately and you'll see what I mean.

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.

Summary: THE FRENCH PULL A HEIST
Review: WITHIN THE SENSELESS, MANIC BLOODLETTING IN THIS FILM I ALSO DETECT A PLAY ON FRENCH STEREOTYPES; NAMELY, THEY ARE NOT TOO SMART, ARROGANT, AND ABOVE ALL, INCOMPETENT. ARE WE TO BELIEVE THAT THE BANK MANAGER, WHO DOESN'T SEEM TOO BRIGHT, WOULD ALLOW AN INNOCENT EMPLOYEE TO BE MURDERED BECAUSE HE JUST CAN'T GET HIMSELF TO LET THE DRUG-SOAKED KILLERS INTO THE BANK VAULT? SURELY A DUMB KIND OF LOYALTY, OR PERHAPS HE WAS JUST AFRAID OF THE REPURCUSSIONS THAT MIGHT FOLLOW FROM HIS APPARENTLY CRUEL SUPERIORS SHOULD HE PERFORM AN ELEMENTARY ACT OF KINDNESS. IN A SENSE, HE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THAT FOLLOWS, ALTHOUGH WITHOUT HIS STUPIDITY WE WOULDN'T HAVE A MOVIE; ARE ERIC AND HIS GANG OF DIMWITS SO ARROGANT THAT THEY WOULD BOAST OF THEIR LACK OF PLANNING? IN FACT, ZED, THE AMERICAN IN PARIS, SEEMS AMAZED BY THE BLOODY AND INCOMPETENT BLUNDERING OF HIS COMPANIONS. I WAS RELIEVED TO SEE HIM FINALLY GET AWAY FROM THE BUNCH, THANKS TO THE HEART OF GOLD PROSTITUTE (ALTHOUGH WE ARE TOLD THAT SHE'S NOT REALLY ONE), AND HOPEFULLY EVENTUALLY BACK TO THE STATES AND SENSIBILITY.

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.
