Two points, one for Michael Ironside, and one for M. Emmet Walsh, both of whom are trapped in this truly terrible film. The writing is some of the worst ever, with zero character development, and scenes that seem to have been randomly inserted in no particular order. Confusion abounds, and the viewer will quickly lose interest. Why should anyone care about characters we know nothing about, in situations that make little sense. Even with the presence of Ironside and Walsh, "Killer Image" is a stinker of major proportions. After about 40 minutes, I couldn't take any more punishment, and hit the eject button. Just one more DVD for my garage sale. - MERK
This Canadian movie is a pretty standard early 90's thriller. It's truthfully pretty pedestrian in most ways but it does benefit from the presence of genre legend Michael Ironside and respected character actor M. Emmet Walsh; both of whom play a pair of brothers, whose bad actions get the film's plot underway. The story is essentially about a professional killer who seeks incriminating photographs which are in the possession of a man whose brother he murdered. This leads to all manner of unreasonable behaviour being carried out by out pony-tailed psychopath.This is not a particularly well written film. It is not, for instance, especially clear why the pivotal murder even happens in the first place. And characters continue to act in illogical ways throughout the story. In fairness, it's not the first thriller to succumb to this, so it's hardly a deal breaker. It is a bit lethargic though and really only comes to life when either Ironside or Walsh are on the screen. So, not an awful lot to recommend here but at the same time it does get the job done, it just does it with the minimum effort.
If you love Michael Ironside, you'll love Killer Image. If you hated this movie, you must not like Michael Ironside or Canadian films.He plays a hit-man for a senator, his brother. He ends up having to execute the senator's secret girlfriend, and gets caught in the end. Of course the sexy Ironside, ever so the bad guy in this film, gets killed. Be careful when you go into the Canadian woods...He dresses to kill and makes me hot. Damn, I'd get banned if I told you all what Michael Ironside does to me every time I see this movie.Yeah, some of the film is disjointed, but it does have a plot. It is a Canadian film, so it has an edge American films do not. Michael Ironside looks so dangerous and sexy at the same time.This movie has violence and sex in it too for all you sickos. Enjoy.
This is a great film. Can't believe this film is so underrated. It's one of the best thrillers of the year. You really should watch this one. You'll like it. The performance are very good. Good psycho thriller.
