Declaration of War

Critics – Film
The last third of the film takes a sharp left turn into horror weirdness. The less said on what happens, the better, but it is far spookier and scarier than a hitman with a hammer. Stripped of all the bourgeois banality of the first chunk of the movie, we see a surprisingly effective depiction of evil at its most base and elemental. In the end, I'm not really sure if the twist works, but Wheatley deserves credit for going there. "Kill List" is a movie that keeps you guessing, freaks you out and then makes you want to argue over the ending. Any flick that does that is something of a success.

Declaration of War

During a dinner party, we learn that Jay's unemployment is self-imposed after a bungled gig in Kiev, the details of which are never revealed. Since the movie is called "Kill List," it shouldn't come to a surprise that Jay and with his mate Gal (Michael Smiley) are hired guns. Gal inveigles Jay to get back into the game with promise of a job: a contract killing of three people. And so "Kill List" gracefully shifts from a family drama to a gritty crime flick. Yet even here, something feels off. Just before target number one, a priest, gets whacked by Jay, he thanks him. When Jay makes an unsettling discovery about the sort of business the people he was hired to whack were engaged in, he doesn't just kill target number two, he pulls out some household tools and gets medieval on him. The scene is exceptionally graphic, and even as Gal recoils in disgust, the victim seems oddly pleased with the situation.

Chronicle

It may look like a just another superhero teen flick, but "Chronicle" is the real deal.

The Arizona Republic's Bill Goodykoontz gives the movie 3.5 stars out of 5, calling it, "a pleasant little surprise." Richard Corliss of TIME is a bit more on the fence.

Nathan Rabin of The Onion's AV Club gives the film a "B," and says it is "far better and far more adult than it really has any right to be."
