killed by a kiss
Dr. Helen Matthews (Patricia Clarkson) is alone at the family cottage after the death of her husband James (Callum Keith Rennie). She finds a wounded stranger named Will (Scott Speedman). She pulls out a bullet. They’re trapped as a storm approaches. Local handyman Al Tessier (Aidan Devine) arrives but Will claims that he’s a killer. Tom (Tim Roth) is coming to kill Will.There is a good tension early on between Clarkson and Speedman. The audience can’t trust Speedman and neither can Clarkson. The tension is broken with the kiss. The premise crumbles as Clarkson gives away her trust too quickly. It’s impossible to know the truth at that point and the movie stumbles. These are great actors but they can’t act their way out of this muddled writing. Filmmaker Ruba Nadda seems to have recently fallen back on TV directing. The directing is fine if unspectacular but the writing has issues.
Doesn’t Ring True
From start to finish this indie “thriller” never seemed to ring true. The movie’s dialogue just came across to me as non-believable as did many of the nonsensical plot situations, so I just couldn’t “buy in”.The talented actress Patricia Clarkson stars here as Dr. Helen Matthews, who’s grieving the recent loss of her husband of 32 years. She’s determined to travel alone from her home in Toronto to the family’s Canadian isolated lakeside cottage, where she and her spouse spent many happy days together.
However soon after she arrives, amidst a severe storm, Helen will find a young man (Scott Speedman) with a bleeding bullet wound in his shoulder and going into shock. His name is Will, and the story of how he arrived at the cottage, and who shot him, is slowly revealed.
When a local handyman arrives by boat to the island and sees what’s occurring, he quickly departs and sets adrift Helen and Will’s remaining boats, thus stranding them there. Will informs Helen that the handyman has ties to the man (Tim Roth) who shot him and that they can expect him to return soon to try and finish him off. It will all spiral down in what I would say was a predictable conclusion.
In summary, I’m sorry to say this film written and directed by Ruba Nadda (Cairo Time), came across as hollow and just wasn’t believable to me, thus wasting the talents of a top notch cast.
