One of my all time favorites.
Admirable film.
On my view, I do admit I was a bit disappointed. Give it a few views, I was entertained intensely. First we have Paris, one of the most beautiful cities of the world, though we don't get to see much of it in this. Granted, this is no Pulp Fiction, some of it's dialogue with it's intellectual humor, leads us to question Quentin might of got his pen a little wet here. Like Reservoir Dogs, we have a heist gone wrong, amidst a little frank and shocking violence. (Eric) Jean Hughes Anglande has invited a childhood friend over, safe cracker Zed (Stoltz) he hasn't seen in some time. They're to do over a big bank on Bastille day, where the night before they get on the p**s and H, so obviously we're in the hand of some real experts. This too becomes a shock to Zed, who's only given a day's notice, not even having time to checked the bank out. In part, as seen to the amateur display of activities by our thieves, in these ugly masks, you could silently label this as an anti drug movie. Now here's the fun angle to the title. On the day of Zed's arrival, he's sent an escort, Zoe, (Julie Delpy) who just happens to work at the same bank, they do over, where Zed caught at a pivotal moment, towards it's end, is forced to make a choice, and I did too like the way it ended. Too, Eric's drunken admittance of aids, to Zed, made sense in the way he literally shoved Zoe out of his room, after the two's little interlude. Loved the cool opening plus it's title song, where were shown numerous streets of Paris, as if from a driver's POV. I loved the end song too, with Delpy saying "Let me show you the real Paris". Also Stoltz's whacked out POV, of visible music tunes, drifting out of friend, Anglande's trumpet. Not for all Tarantino fans.
KILLING ZOEI liked it... but it was a film of 2 halves.The first half of the movie was just average at best. A group of people that get together to arrange a bank robbery, but most of the first 45 minutes was just them getting wasted on drugs and messing about around Paris. This part of the movie dragged on a bit. It was OK, but more could have happened. But the second half was awesome. The bank robbery.When the entered the bank, the movie really picked up the pace.Zoe is the receptionist in the bank that the group hold up...the problem is, Zoe is also a hooker that one of the robbers has fallen in love with. He didn't know she worked there.The cast was good though. Eric Stoltz, Jean-Hughes Anglade & Julie Delpy really do well. I connected with the characters these guys played. There were even some good supporting roles too. Especially Gary Kemp. Who would have known that the guy from Spandau Ballet could be a good actor. He was really good in the Krays too.There was one scene in the movie though that made me laugh. Someone gets shot and has about 200 bullets shot at him from a few guns all at the same time... yet he did not go down! He still stood there for about 30 seconds after. I am pretty sure he would have gone down a long time after that. Also, there is a brilliant comical scene with a cat. :)There was a really good raw feel to this movie that I loved... Tarantino usually has that feel with his films. I suppose this has it because he was Executive Producer.All in all this film was good. I will give it 7 out of 10.A slow first half, but a great second half and ending.For more reviews, please like my Facebook page:https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ordinary-Person-Movie- Reviews/456572047728204?ref=hl
Killing ZoeSince banks aren't open past 5 p.m., if you're a moonlighting bank robber, you're going to have to take time off work.Fortunately, the bandits in this bank heist were born into a life of crime.In Paris to assist his old friend Eric (Jean-Hugues Anglade) with a job, American safecracker Zed (Eric Stoltz) kills time with a prostitute, Zoe (Julie Delpy), whom he shares an instant rapport with.The two lovers are later reunited when a masked Zed holds up the bank where Zoe works. Compelled to protect her from the erratic Eric, who has instigated a gunfight with Paris' finest, Zed puts his lifelong friendship with Eric as well as his own life on the line.Truly a hidden heist gem, Killing Zoe is an innovative and intriguing investment that gains greater interest with each viewing. However, robbing banks is now futile since no one has any money. (Green Light)
Killing Zoe revolves around Zed who was invited to Paris to contribute in a bank robbery.Unfortunately that's all the story plot contains. Rest is all about unnecessary violence which really don't make any sense.There's been also some scenes of drugs depiction and consumption.Also there is no twist in storyline,weak plot and very predictable.The only strong link of the movie is the presence of Julie Delphy who looked extremely charming.Its obvious to expect more from this movie but it do not stands anywhere around its expectations.
