Killing Zoe (1993)
1/10
A Movie That Goes Horribly Wrong
13 October 2002
Yet another entry in the seemingly endless series of films about a crime that goes horribly wrong. (The original such film from the 1950's, "The Killing" by Stanley Kubrick about a botched racetrack heist told from multiple viewpoints was clearly a big influence on Quentin Tarantino and his former friend Mr. Avary).

When I rented this movie a few years ago, I absolutely hated it. It has no redeeming value; I don't even recall any clever dialogue. It was a dud at the box office and for good reason. I am puzzled by some of the positive user comments and wonder if those users have ever seen a movie that they didn't like.

Rightly or wrongly, the French come off very badly in this film. The bank robbery itself is very violent. If only there were some good dialogue, the violence would not be so offputting.

Killing Zoe is a bad way of killing time.
