We saw the film last night, and loved it. In my review, I said about the film:
“They Will Kill You is a completely batshit crazy, off-the-chain comedic actioner that is the perfect Friday night movie fodder. By taking its inspiration from some classic movies and some not-so-classic movies, it all blends together into a crowd-pleasing film. With the great direction from Kirill Sokolov, from a script co-written with Alex Litvak, the film speeds along at a decent pace, even taking the time to flesh out the backstory of both Asia and Maria along the way, as well as Lilith and Ray. Intercutting with classic Grindhouse cue cards, something Quentin Tarantino will enjoy, the film feels like a Grindhouse movie, one that is more modern and up to date.”
