Movie Reviews of The Killing Man
Movie Review: excellent movie in ways you wouldn't expect
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased Killing Man for one simple reason - Jeff Wincott. I have been constantly impressed with this guy's solid martial arts skills, and ability to actually act well. Thinkin that Killing Man would be another Wincott action blast with some decent acting and an ok story, the movie provided a from of entertainment I did not see coming.
Instead of an all-out action fest, Killing Man felt a lot more like a suspense/thriller with the action thrown in. Jeff Wincott, though does not give a martial arts filled movie like many of his others, instead delivers a sharp performance in acting and creating a unique and defined charcater, "Harlin Garrett" aka "The Killing Man". Saved from death by a so-called branch of the government led by Mr. Green (Michael Ironside), Harlin is basically brainwashed to kill and eliminate the slime of society in order to stay alive. Finding it difficult to grasp at first, Harlin begins to fall into the habit, until he falls for a woman he has been ordered to kill. This is where the movie gets very exicitng.
In addition to Wincott, the supporting actors do a better job than expected for a low-budget B movie. Michael Ironside, as always, delivers a solid performance as the bad guy. Killing Man has a dark tone throughout, and begins especially eerie in a dark and desolate hospital for Harlin. I enjoyed the fact that Harlin falls for an ordinary girl, and not some usual blonde bimbo.
Overall, Killing Man is not a martial arts film, and very little action film at that. While there is some action throughout, it is very real and timed out with the story. All together, it works well. Expect good suspense upon watching the first time, and one of Jeff Wincott's best acting performances so far.
