Killers misses the mark for one specific reason: the filmmakers' failure to understand what constitutes successful use of the "So I married a secret agent" trope.

Skip it.

| Original Score: D | Sep 11, 2017

Neither action nor romance, Killers will please all those who see it for Kutcher, disappoint those in search of a story.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 8, 2010

It's pretty much dead in the water as soon as a shirtless Kutcher tries to play suave and utters some terrible French in his first attempt to woo his co-star.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 6, 2010

Only the underplaying Selleck gets out of this with any dignity, while O'Hara is totally wasted as Jen's one-note tippling mom.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 6, 2010

Killers goes wrong so quickly and obviously it's almost hard to believe -- did collective deafness strike on set?

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 24, 2010

The whole film is scripted like it didn't matter, and directed in a similar fashion.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 24, 2010

Kutcher and Heigl have such forced chemistry that it's hard to believe they'd ever fall in love, much less stay married in blissful blah-dom.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 18, 2010

It's us they are killing with this screamingly abysmal romcom-thriller, drearily similar to the hitman'n'her Brangelina picture Mr & Mrs Smith.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 17, 2010

Kutcher and Heigl are unable to bring any warmth to what is at heart a bitter, cynical script. Just awful.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 16, 2010

The script's bowel-rupturingly bland - you can almost sense the bits where they wrote [INSERT JOKE HERE] and never got round to it.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 16, 2010

Heigl and Kutcher make a cute enough couple, but a cringeworthy opening and ludicrous (even by the standards of the genre) ending mean that this is one to watch only when your brain is switched to the "off" position.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 16, 2010

This should be and could be a really fun and entertaining, silly movie and it isn't.

Full Review | Jun 14, 2010

Killers is a lifeless romantic action comedy that might as well have been concocted in a broken beaker, given the paucity of chemistry between the lead actors.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 10, 2010

This is not a bad movie. It is three bad movies. "Killers" is trying to be a romantic action comedy and it fails all three times.

| Original Score: D | Jun 9, 2010

For someone so classically handsome, Kutcher is surprisingly anticharismatic as a star. A smarmy grin and looking good while shirtless does not equal screen presence, dude.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 9, 2010

Maybe filmmakers should shoot what Ashton's up to off-camera, because not many laughs are making it to the screen.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 7, 2010

Bob DeRosa and Ted Griffin wrote the script, whose plummeting one-liners leave no actor unscathed.

| Jun 7, 2010

Bungled rather than flat-out terrible.

Full Review | Jun 7, 2010

You could do far worse at the multiplex this weekend than Killers, a modestly pitched rom-com actioner that outdoes most of the competition on compulsive watchability alone.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 6, 2010
