The Plot…<\/strong><\/p>\nJoe Flood (Bautista) has made his living as a hit man.\u00a0 He only takes contracts on evil men.\u00a0 No women.\u00a0 No children.\u00a0 No civilians.<\/p>\n
Joe meets a dancer named Maize (Boutella) and they begin dating.\u00a0 It soon becomes clear that they’re falling in love.\u00a0 Joe’s never been happier although his headaches have been getting worse.\u00a0 When Joe goes to the doctor, results show he has a fatal disease with no cure.\u00a0 The disease is fast moving and will leave Joe blind, in pain and mindless in a matter of months.<\/p>\n
Joe decides to take matters into his own hands.\u00a0 He breaks it off with Maize.\u00a0 Then Joe uses his connections to put a hit on himself.\u00a0 When word gets out, hit teams from around the world are determined to collect the two million dollar bounty.<\/p>\n
The Joe gets a call from his doctor.\u00a0 The test result were mixed up.\u00a0 Another patient has the disease, not Joe.\u00a0 Except for his headaches, Joe is perfectly healthy.\u00a0 The doctor says Joe could live for years.<\/p>\n
Of course the doc doesn’t know about the hit men and women on their way to punch Joe’s ticket.\u00a0 Since there’s no calling off the hit, Joe’s only way to survive is to kill the killers.<\/p>\n
Game on.<\/p>\n
Thoughts (beware of spoilers)\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\nThis is the second time Dave Bautista and Sofia Boutella appeared together in a film.\u00a0 The first was Hotel Artemis<\/em> (2018) which I highly recommend.<\/p>\nKiller’s Game<\/em> (2024) is a fun ride.\u00a0 It features over the top characters, cartoonish violence, a bit of romance and a twist or two.<\/p>\nKiller’s Game<\/b><\/i> (2024)<\/strong> <\/em>rates 4 of 5 stars.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/stallonezone.com\/zone\/logo\/zview_b.png\")
