Review of The Kill Room

The Kill Room (2023)
Dark comedy and parody of New York high art galleries.
30 January 2024
Uma Thurman produced this and stars as Patrice, owner of a gallery that is definitely NOT thriving. Then she is approached by a man (Samuel L. Jackson) who wants to strike up a deal with her, when the conversation is over she realizes he is a drug dealer that needs a place to launder his money. Being in a big bind, the idea of a good % take pulls her in, soon she is deep, deep in the criminal enterprise.

But she needs a steady supply of artwork, to make the operation appear legitimate. Reggie the hit man (Joe Manganiello) is recruited for that task, even though he has no art experience.

The whole movie is dark comedy, I enjoyed it enough because of the actors. A few scenes are over-filled with vulgar language, the script writer loves the F-word and some dialog has multiple M-F references, to the point that it was like verbal vomit coming out of my TV screen and speaker system. But fortunately my player has a 15-second jump forward feature so I didn't have to tolerate all that vulgar language, I just skipped over it and lost no content.

On BluRay from my public library. My wife chose to skip, she is not entertained by this type of movie.
