Dave's Comments: When watching this movie, I was reminded a lot of The Shawshank Redemption (one of my favorite films). That association is due in part to the time period of the setting and in part because it was obviously made with very high quality standards in mind. James Woods is an excellent actor, so the whole thing is very watchable. Unfortunately, Killer is definately drama as opposed to horror. So what I'm saying is that it's a good movie, but you probably won't enjoy it much.

Jim's Comments: An Excellent movie, it had realistic characters, and good dialogue. This movie while lacking blood and gore made up for it with an interesting story line. It takes place in a prison and covers what the criminal thinks of his life. I tend to like all movies like this though, they always seem to have original characters. It is definitely not a B-movie, but it is well worth watching and I would recommend it to any one.
