Kill Me Again [Blu-ray]

Director: John Dahl John Dahl

Overview

In his film debut, novice director John Dahl (who would later make The Last Seduction), weaves a quirky tale of love, murder and deception. Jack Andrews (Val Kilmer), a seedy private detective is hired by Fay Forrester (Joanne Whalley-Kilmer), to help her fake her own death in a clever scheme to escape from her mob pursuers, whom she double-crossed stealing money she had been sent to pick up, and are now intent on killing her. There then ensues a series of complicated plot-twists, double-crosses and surprises as Fay and Jack race each other to escape the mobsters, who have found them, and to get the money before the other does.

Editorial Reviews

Kill Me Again -- aptly titled in reference to some amusing and complex plot devices -- is at times somewhat clumsy and unbelievable, but is saved by its unexpected and surprising conclusion and by the performance of Val Kilmer. Kilmer can be wooden at times, but is mostly charming and believable as Jack. Joanne Whalley-Kilmer is excellent in her role of the seductive, deceptive lady on the run. Kill Me Again, while derivative in some respects, gives an interesting twist to familiar material and is both an amusing send-up of the entire genre and a genuinely engrossing crime thriller.
