Killers is the most gorgeous-looking torture porn film I have ever seen — and has a couple of tremendous action sequences. But it is also thoroughly disgusting.

Mr. Nomura is a sociopathic serial killer who preys on the women of Tokyo. In Jakarta, Bayu is a world-weary journalist who unexpectedly falls into vigilantism after killing two sadistic robbers.

What are critics saying?
The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
At heart a repulsive slash-and-bash with philosophical pretensions, Killers is classed up considerably by strong acting, a multi-strand plot and a tone that’s both nihilistic and mournful.
Los Angeles Times by Martin Tsai
Directors Kimo Stamboel and Timo Tjahjanto — collectively known as the Mo Brothers — skillfully handle the moral complexity of the script by Tjahjanto and Takuji Ushiyama. With some of its biggest twists happening out of focus and in the background, the film rewards the most observant viewers.
Amateurishly realized sensationalism trumps character-driven drama throughout Killers.
