I saw "The Kill Room" this afternoon. It is an entertaining comedy-thriller starring Uma Thurman, Joe Manganiello, and Samuel L. Jackson. Uma Thurman's character runs a less-than-successful art gallery that is bleeding cash since no one is buying any of her paintings. In steps Samuel L. Jackson with an interesting proposal - he will "buy" paintings made by Joe Manganiello from her in a money laundering scheme. Of course, things go horribly wrong when Thurman's assistant doesn't realize it is all a scam. I found the film to be very entertaining - filled with snarky comments on how the rich will buy just about anything when they think something is scarce and/or avantgarde. The film is well directed and acted and at a breezy 1 1/2 hours it is very pleasant diversion. Recommended - 7/10.
