Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Lots of suspense and drama. All actors were fantastic
Review: I would recommend this movie because of the suspense and drama

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Unsung Film Noir Classic
Review: It is a shame, in my opinion, that this movie never got enough attention when it was released. I consider it a fine example of film noir and possibly the best film noir movie to appear in the nineties. If you like well paced detective movies you will love this film. Joane Whalley-Kilmer plays one of the best evil women I have seen in some time. You gotta love to hate her in this movie.

Summary: Finally on DVD
Review: Kill me again has never been released in digital formant in US. There is a Japanese Ld long time ago but very hard to get nowadays. So this MGM dvd release is a very good news. This movie is very under rated and didn't get wide release but remains a video favorite. The story has been done before and has been copied all over again on various B movie. About a seductive young woman who used a private detective to fake her death to get away with money she stole from her abusive boyfriend. The DVD is in full screen only and no 5.1 Dolby Digital but for this type of low budget movie probably we don't miss much as the Dolby 2.0 surround is quite good with occasional thunder can be heard from your rear speakers. I would have given it 5 stars if MGM give an English subtitle option (an option that has no longer available for all current MGM DVD releases, what a shame). Get this rare gem, you won't be sorry.

Summary: Kilmer again
Review: Well,they ain't exactly the Lunts, but the husband-and-wife acting team of Val and Joanne-Whalley Kilmer sure do make a purty pair in this irony-drenched thriller. "Kill Me Again" is 1/3 of a modern "neo-noir" triptych of sorts by director John Dahl, who seems to have a thing for brunettes who are very bad girls (a weakness I share with Mr. Dahl). Mrs. Kilmer is the brunette fatale in this outing, hiring down-on-his luck P.I. (are there any other kind in film noir?) Val to help her fake her own "death" for some typically complex reasons one often finds in this genre. The usual twists and turns ensue, with the expected Great American West backdrop. Michael Madsen tackles the role of the double-crossed boyfriend with his patented Psychotic Elvis routine. Arguably the weakest entry in Dahl's aforementioned triad ("Red Rock West" and "The Last Seduction" being the other two) but still quite entertaining if you're in a noirish mood.
