Within the first few minutes of "Killers", I suspect most viewers will be asking themselves, "How on earth did Ashton Kutcher get cast in this movie?" The answer lies in the credits - Kutcher is listed as being one of the producers. That's the only reason I can think that no one was in power to bring up the fact that Kutcher is incredibly miscast in this movie. He goes through the movie with a very befuddled look on his face, and is incredibly awkward with both the action and the comedy. Actually, it's hard to figure out if his co-star Katherine Heigl is even worse, since she gives a very strident performance that has absolutely no grace or charm. But even if the best actors had been cast in the lead roles, it's highly likely they would still be perplexed on how to best use such a bad screenplay. Certainly, the screenplay has absolutely no laughs at all, but its central storyline doesn't make sense for many reasons. Where are the cops while all of this is going on? Why don't the lead characters ever sit down and have a serious and long talk about all the deceptions? Could things be neatly (and quickly) wrapped up at the end if these events were happening in real life? As for the action angle of the movie, the action sequences are both badly directed and edited, so there's no excitement when they are showcased. I feel I should also add that the entire production looks and feels like a Hollywood filmed TV sitcom instead of a feature film. To sum up, there is NOTHING about this movie that makes it worth a viewing, unless you want to ensure that the actors, the director, and other key people behind the scenes get some extra residuals.
