It was exactly what I expected.
I wouldn't go back for a second viewing. But the few laughs that I wanted to get out of it I got. That made it worth the five bucks I spent to see it. Early bird special, baby!
There were a two irksome moments for me:
1. During the fight scenes they used to shaky cam technique. I hate the shaky cam technique. You can't tell what the Sam hill is going on. Besides being totally lost to the action you're made dizzy.
2. Ashton Kutcher did not make realistic decisions as a spy.
*Spoilers Ahead*
When everyone you know is out to claim a $20 million bounty on your head. What spy is going to say let's stop by the house so we can get the go bag and the guns? Really? No. You would've never seen 007 make some kind of asinine decison. Ethan Hunt would've made do without the frickin' go bag. You're a spy for chrike's sake. Make MacGyver without the go bag. That's what you were trained for.
*End of Spoilers*
The best part of the movie were the parents. Tom Selleck's mustache is always impressive. He was funny, too, in case you were wondering. Catherine O'Hara made me recall all my childhood memories of Home Alone, and as she devoured glass after glass of alcoholic beverages I laughed my memories away.
Good movie. You can see it in theaters or just wait for it to be distributed your nearest Red Box container.
Killers doesn't make the top ten. It nearly missed it.
