Killers!

Starring: Ashton Kutcher, Katherine Heigl and Tom Selleck

Director: Robert Luketic (2010)

Its a not so new film, but a fabulious film all the same. A very entertaining watch for lovers of Action comedy. The narrative of the film is quite straight forward and thankfully doen't confuse the audience: "A vocationing woman meets her ideal man, leading to a awift marriage. Back at home, however, their idyllic life is upset when they discover that their neighbours could be assassin's who have been contracted to kill the couple." (http://www.imbd.com/title/tt1103153/)

Spencer Aimes (Kutcher) is a professional killer working for the CIA. Whilst on a mission in Nice, France, he meets Jen Kornfeldt (Heigl), who is a rep for an IT company who has just broken up with her geeky boyfriend, whom we do not meet as an audience. Reference is just made to him as a reason she is vacationing in Nice with her mother (Catherine O' Hara) and father (Selleck).

After a brief romance in Nice, the couple get married once back in the USA. However, Spence has not been honest about his real profession, and as far as his wife knows he is a corperate consultant.

Eventually, their neighbours, who turn out to be contract killers, are 'activated' to kill Spencer, and then Jen. An action packed shoot out/ car chase sequence occurs with lots of long shots and mid shots and two shots, which forms the main part of the film.

Further on, all is revealed when the family, mother and father included, have a "trust circle" discussion, in which Jen's father confesses to planting killers in the couple's life, and his real day job was the same to that of Spencer's old job as he informs everyone that he "got out in Nice". At which point Jen confesses that she is pregnat with Spencers child, and informs them that none of the family will be able to have contact in form with the child if there are any more lies and acts of deception or killing.

Definitly a must- see for the whole family. However, not suitable for younger viewers due to violent content.
