Killers (B)

Short Version: Okay, it's a better movie than critics gave it credit for. It sort of has a Mr. & Mrs. Smith feel to it, but it is different. He's a spy, she's clueless and they fall in love. A sweet romantic comedy. Kutcher and Heigl work great together! I say it's worth watching, you should check it out! 


Long Version: Alright, so Spencer Aimes (Ashton Kutcher) is a professional hit-man just making a living until he comes across a woman on vacation that has just come off of a bad relationship. Isn't that always the story line with these kind of movies?? Ha! But anyway, he meets Jen Kornfeldt (Katherine Heigl) and they hit it off instantly! He seems to be perfect for her and she for him. What attracts him most is that she makes him feel normal. Spencer chooses love over his career and tries to get away.


Back home we jump three years into the future, their lives are perfect and everyone is happy. Spencer has started his own business as a source of income, but when he hears from his old boss, his past starts to unravel into his new life. When Spencer and Jen's friend shows up trying to kill them, she starts to wonder what is going on and Spencer is showing signs that he knows more than he is sharing. More and more of their friends and co-workers arrive to kill them. It turns out that they have a $20 Million bounty out on them... who wouldn't be trying to kill them? 


As the Aimes try to follow the clues to who might be killing them, there is a hint that Jen's father, (Tom Selleck) might be involved. And out of nowhere, her parents show up at their house. It turns out that Jen's dad is an "old school" assassin and he set things in motion because he thought that he was Spencer's target. Through what seems to be the roughest part of their lives, Jen finds out that she is pregnant, and is unsure if she wants Spencer to be involved in their new baby's life. With her parents there she attempts to iron out all the dishonesty and start new. 


And of course her mother is and was clueless to everything. Her mother is played by Catherine O'Hara and she plays the mother who is always drunk and always drinking. Much like her role in Orange County. It makes me wonder if she is really like that.. Anyway, I'm giving the movie a (B) because overall it's good, but it's just not up there with all the other spy movies that are out there. There is some great acting and there are a bit of lackluster moments but still worth the (B) rating. 


Pick this one up and add it to your collection from Amazon or anywhere else you can find it. It's also available on Netflix, which we now have a link to on our page.
