When I sat down to watch this 2018 thriller titled "Killer in Law", I must admit that I wasn't really harboring much of any great expectations. Why? Well, given the movie's synopsis, then it just sounded like yet another run of the mill made for TV thrillers.
But still, I opted to sit down and watch director Danny J. Boyle's 2018 thriller.
And while "Killer in Law" is watchable, it just happened that writers Nick Barzini and Danny J. Boyle managed to fall in to a very generic runt of writing, so "Killer in Law" turned out to be exactly what I had believed it to be; a run-of-the-mill-and-a-dime-a-dozen type of thriller. So yeah, don't expect to be in for a grand thriller experience here, as it was pretty straight forward and generic.
The acting performances in "Killer in Law" were adequate, though it was clear to see that the script, dialogue and character gallery was holding the actresses and actors back somewhat.
"Killer in Law" is the type of thriller where you know the outcome of the movie from the very beginning, and director Danny J. Boyle does not throw you any curve balls along the way, nor does he deviate from the very structured narrative. And that made for a somewhat bland and generic thriller.
My rating of "Killer in Law" lands on a bland and less than mediocre four out of ten stars. If you enjoy thrillers, then there are far better options readily available out there.
