ctomvelu1 While the plot is nothing new (government contract killer falls for one of his assignments), this Canadian-lensed action drama is a cut above the rest. The amazing, intense Jeff Wincott plays the contract killer, and the fetching, vulnerable Terri Hawkes is the assignment he falls for. The always dependable Michael Ironside is Wincott's shadowy boss, a government official of sorts who is told who to kill, if not always why. This low-budget actioner was filmed and produced with the care and attention to detail of many A-level productions. And Wincott is thoroughly believable as a killing machine who develops a conscience. The fight scenes are extremely well staged, and they are frequent. Some decent nudity and a couple of detailed sex scenes keep the attention from flagging between fights and shootouts. Kudos to the director/writer, who clearly knew how to get the most for his money.

merklekranz Do not let the presence of interesting actor Michael Ironside, tempt you into watching "The Killing Man". This bad excuse for a martial arts film is tedious, contrived, and rather ridiculous. The story is nothing more than a series of encounters with Jeff Wincott as a programed, back from the dead assassin, eliminating those who could expose this country's involvement in a plot "are you ready?", that the U.S. government introduced the aids virus. Other annoyances include Wincott mumbling "What do you want from me?" countless times, sets that resemble an empty warehouse, a requisite strip club scene, philosophical discussions about killing and redemption, slow motion showcasing, and other total nonsense. Bad, and not good bad by any stretch of the imagination. - MERK

sveknu This is a warning for everyone to stay away from this piece of garbage. The plot is simple. Jeff Wincott was once a hit-man, and after he died he was brought back to life to do killing for the government. This plot has lots of potential, but unfortunately it is totally wasted here. It just keeps getting worse and worse, and in the end I was supporting the bad guys, even though they weren't exactly the most charismatic bunch of people I've witnessed. Wincott delivered some great fighting and action in movies like "Martial Law 2", "Mission of Justice", "Deadly Bet" and even "Martial Outlaw", and that means that I got really disappointed when it turned out that this film sucked to the extreme on that level. Very bad fight scenes, nearly no action, and it sucks big time. I advise everyone to just pretend that this movie doesn't exist at all.
