Perfect neo-noir from John Dahl
Added 10/26/2009
The Bottom Line:
Before he made the critically-acclaimed Red Rock West and The Last Seduction John Dahl made Kill Me Again, a fun little mystery with femme fatales, private investigators, and perfect genre performances by Val Kilmer and Joanne Whalley; if you like neo-noir, this is a perfect film to rent for an evening's entertainment.

'80s Noir For Audience Which Likes A Mean Edge
Added 3/5/2009
Hard-edged characters - male and female, including a sadistic killer - make this a tough film. Maybe I'm just mellowing and these type of low-lifes just don't appeal to me anymore, at least when comprise two- thirds of the main characters. Yet, it was an interesting film, worth seeing once.
Yup, if you like nasty characters with a big mean streak in them, ones that have no ethics whatsoever and are proud of it, then'll you like this modern-day film noir very much. Val Kilmer, Joanne Whalley-Kilmer and Michael Madsen are not three people you want as friends, particularly the last two.
The story has a few twists - big twists - near the end, and I have to give this film four stars for one thing alone: it flat-out entertains you for the full 95 minutes.

Great Movie
Added 8/24/2008
I like Val Kilmer, he is the real macoy in all his character movies. This is one of his first movies as a private detective in dispair to make a buck. You will surely enjoy the suspence, action, drama and action! Highly recommended! Kilmer presently resides in New Mexico and is bringing hollywood movies to the beauty of the western traditions.

A Wild Ride!

One of Val Kilmer's most underrated pictures, this is an exciting movie that I thoroughly enjoyed...Good plot, good acting. If however, coarse language offends you, beware.

Joanne is SOOO hawt
Added 7/16/2006
This movie is one of my favorite Joanne Whalley films. I own nine of them and I think shes a fine example of an actress that can still be very talented without necessarily being that well known.
I love the whole 80's feel of this movie...(yes I realize thats when it was filmed) but I just love the whole plot behind it. I have to admit when I first saw it I was thrown for a loop.....Jack Andrews gets away with murder the money and all while Fay and Vince..well, doesn't quite work out for them.
Joanne Whalley is a great combination of sexy and cute. I love her eyes and her facial expressions. Shes also very good with disguising her accent (Manchester, England) and she sounds like a very believable american.
I was able to find this movie quite easily at FYE music/movie store. Its great. Get it.
