Killers

When you put Katherine Heigl and Ashton Kutcher together in a movie you can’t really go wrong, even when the script dictates that Ashton’s character, Spencer Aimes, is in fact a government agent/assassin/spy. I guess for many moviegoers this isn’t such a train smash – I guess I just like my romcoms straight up, not stirred or shaken up by a silly plot device.

It all starts out pretty normally: Jen (Heigl) is recently single and on holiday with her folks (horror!) when she meets Spencer and falls in love. Three years later and happily married, Jen gets the shock of her life when she finds out that “people” are trying to kill her and Spencer and discovers that he’s got a secret life. Mayhem and dodging of bullets ensues.

Yes, this is yet another example of a tired and predictable script being rescued by two attractive and hopelessly irresistible actors. Lucky save.

Rating: 3 outta 5.
