Purely Joyful Movie!
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
A film from the very talented Casper Andres. A gay reality show producer Stephen (Gale Harold) is celebrating his birthday with his current boyfriend Dusty (Van Hansis). However Stephen's ex-boyfriend Craigsey (Matthew Ludwinski) shows up spoiling things. Dustin storms out followed by Stephen. They end up at a convenience store arguing which is held up by a guy. Stephen is shot and killed--Dusty is shot and wounded. The police think Dusty did it...but he blacked out and can't prove he DIDN'T do it.Complex, twisty and well-done. Some of the acting is bad but I found the story intriguing. The direction by Andreas is great and the cinematography is stunning. There are a too few many twists and turns at the end but I still loved it. Recommended.
I didn't realize saying "I'm the landlord" or "I'm the lawyer" allows people to walk into an active crime scene. A suggestion to any aspiring screenwriters: If you want to write about something you don't have personal experience with, there is no shame in doing research. It might make the story more believable.
Right from the stylish opening credits (which reminded me of 1963's Charade), this is a stylish, compelling and ultimately very satisfying thriller. It certainly kept me entertained and guessing until the end, mainly because it works on so many levels. Largely, this is due to the quality of the script, which twists and turns brilliantly, without ever losing sight of characters to care about. But mention should also be made of the direction, which is so assured (the movie looks absolutely stunning) and the performances of the cast. Some murder mysteries take an age to get going, but what is particularly impressive about Kiss Me, Kill Me is that it hits the ground running from the outset, and doesn't slacken. Not once was I bored, or looking at my watch. For me, this was one of the unsung gems of the year. Highly recommended.
Director/Writer/Actor/Producer Casper Andreas (Flatbush Luck, 2016) continues to provide the LGBTQ community with an array of films. Here, "Kiss Me, Kill Me" stars Gale Harold (Queer as Folk) as a horn-dog reality TV guru who's found dead after his latest lover Van Hansis (As the World Turns 2005-2010) threatens him, then blacks out. As with many of Andreas' films, he once again wears of too many hats and "toss everything at the storyline hoping something good will happen," and it doesn't! As a gay filmmaker, and actor in general, Andreas should know that the viewing audience (gay or straight) deserves more than the typical bitchy drag queen, bitter lesbians, corny murder suspect, over acting, the occasional shirtless guy and/or familiar gay male personalities (Jai Rodriquez - Queer Eye for the Straight Guy 2003- 2007), and a cheesy storyline. Sharing the blame here is the equally weak writing of David Michael Barrett (Such Good People 2014), who provides all the actors with little to work with and nothing to ground there characters in. Andreas can make a film, he's proving that. What he needs to make is films more widely appreciated is to surround himself with less "Yes" people and more creative types who will help him step away from his projects and look at the bigger picture. It "Killed" me to sit through the whole film.
