It took much too long to get started.
At 2h 17min this would have benefited greatly from some heavy editing because it starts out so slow and takes so long to get into gear it’s actually pretty boring. Most of that time is spent in material that’s not all that relevant to the movie because by the time the action begins we found the prior material mostly filler… just a way to get it over 2-hours. Once started, its well worth the wait and no one is really safe in this one. it’s over-the-top and has a rather unexpected ending but all that kept this from being 5-stars for us was the run-time.

Deviate Serial Killers
When I first saw the movie, it was a censored DVD from Germany (as I found out the film was cut by 11 minutes). Even though the lack of the red stuff I found the premise of the story great. These two lonely and deeply disturbed individuals finding their way together over the Internet and going into a competition was so intriguing that I couldn`t resist to order the unrated US DVD. As I expected the film was in it's whole even more disturbing than in it's butchered version. The two stars of the film did really a good job and played these two characters believeable. What I found the most interesting thing was that by showing the failures of the two when executing their vile deeds they became very human and not just unstoppable killing machines and in this regard did the film deviate from it's ilk and became even more interesting.

A bad man has nothing to lose....while a good man who acts bad could lose everything... (and there is lots of blood)
Someone here already gave the best and most succinct review which is...if you like I SAW THE DEVIL --- I would bet you'll like this movie. Although....I will say there is more "message" to this one and also more surprise. My take on I SAW THE DEVIL is....sort of balls out violent, dizzying, audacious - a movie that just keeps upping itself. However KILLERS, has one half of it that has those elements and another half that is more serious. One character can't lose anything because he cares for nothing and one regrets his theory that he had nothing to lose? That might be one way of putting it. Stylish, fast-moving thriller with good actors/strong story. I think it's pretty easy to grasp if this kind of movie is your cup of tea.

Twisted thriller
Some say this is a companion piece to I Saw The Devil. Not really, but they make a fine double bill. The main killer from JapanIs a mix of Norman Bates meets most pyscho killers but he can be very sympathetic at times which can make the viewer question theirmorals. The kills while not extremly bloody, were still very unsettling especially in the opening sequence. The second main character fromJakarta is really interesting and his path I found to be the most gripping.Highly reccomended..

This SUCKS
I ordered this movie because it said it had 3 language options ENGLISH being one of the options along with ENGLISH subtitles there is NO ENGLISH option for language this is wrong advertising especially when your looking forward to enjoy a movie during these pandemic times and you end up reading more than enjoying

Great action
Good action. The parallels between the killers and the motivations of each is interesting.

and this is (at least in my opinion) his best work to date
I'm a Kazuki Kitamura fan, and this is (at least in my opinion) his best work to date. He plays the role so perfectly it gives me the chills. Highly underrated movie.

I was so excited cause this was by the director who put out The Raid. It's ok,kinda slow and mediocre.

Violently fun movie
Absolutely fantastic movie. Basically 2 people kill and post videos online. One is a serial killer and the other is a jouranalist going for a warped sense of justice. This film is about their finding each other and then one of them trying to quit and how the other responds. There are also subplots regarding both characters that are equally interesting. It's kind of violent I guess but I like that sort of film and it's certainly not over the top or anything.My only complaint, if I could even call it that, is how the languages they speak change for no reason. They speak Indonesian (?) (it begins with a B but I forget what's it's called) sometimes, Japanese sometimes which makes sense as it's based in Japan. One character randomly breaks into a few lines in French, I guess to show he's not a native and when the killers coming via video/phone, they always speak English. Like from the first video call the serial killer instantly spoke English without it being clear if the journalist spoke English or what. It was very annoying and I had to have the second set of subtitles on to make sure I didn't miss anything in English, because sometimes they speak so quietly I don't even realise they've spoken till a subtitle pops up. Bear in mind that's my only niggle. I would now class this as one of my favourite movies. The plot is outrageous and it's all the better for it. The acting is strong and the characters watchable. The 2 main stars also started in Raid 2 so it's definitely worth checking out.

For a Japanese/Indonesian project this is surprisingly good. Worth watching for Kitamura's dark existence
Violent and disturbing film concerning a serial killer (portrayed excellently by Kazuki Kitamura) and his online buddy. For a Japanese/Indonesian project this is surprisingly good. Worth watching for Kitamura's dark existence....
