Kill Me Later Reviews:
Kill Me Later 
2009-10-04 - This movie uses unusual characters, great photographic techniques, and interesting situations to add a lot of life to a well-worn plot. Selma Blair plays the depressed, suicidal, discarded mistress. Max Beesley plays the unlucky thief who gets no breaks. They are pursued by a couple of bored cops who come with baggage. They are surrounded by characters like the sleazy, conniving bank manager, the unlucky-in-love, dim-witted driver, and the loser life-time crook. Sometimes, the most unlikely plans work out!
Love it! 
2009-08-16 - Big fan of the accents! I loved how they ended up falling in love once he was able to see the person beneath all of her problems. The ending was also beautiful.
Good... but sticky 
2009-06-26 - The movie played well which is most important. But when it arrived the case was sticky and so was the dvd.
A Very Sweet 'Dark' Comedy
2008-06-28 - I liked the absurdities in this film, but the chemistry between Selma Blair, and Max Beesley was also great.
A bank teller ( Blair ) decides to 'off' herself by jumping from the roof of her bank building, while the bank is in the process of being robbed. One of the robbers ( Beesley ) is chased back into the bank, and up to the roof just in time to grab the would-be suicide, and then, of course, threatens to kill her when a cop corners him. The robber manages to get the cop to back down. He then makes a deal with his hostage, telling her he'll kill her later if she helps him escape. Things begin getting complicated when the two of them start to like each other. I must admit that I was cheering the unlikely duo on, pretty much from the moment they began sharing screen-time.
KILL ME LATER, provided plenty of fun, and the characters, particularly the two leads were, by turns, silly, poignant, and, more often than not, just very likable. I loved it.
Starts off promising, ends tragically
2008-01-02 - Welcome to a day in the life of Shawn: a young, depressed, cynical and openly suicidal woman whose life seems all but going down the toilet at lightning speed. The basic grasp of the movie is, we're taken through a timeline of events that happen on the day Shawn decides to die. There are a lot of good flashbacks showing exactly what's going on in her mind, intriguing use of slow motion and speed, and of course, sharp, witty humour. However, with all the dramatic footage to keep your eyes glued to the tv, unfortunately the director takes a horrible turn and the movie just becomes another lame stunt of trying to tell people that their Romeo will come along when you least expect it and they will save you. The movie is both a thriller and soppy romance. It's sad a movie that could have been so deep and meaningful had to turn out this way. But what movie doesn't? Worth watching, but keep your expectations low.
