An interesting little genre film. I don't think Killing Words ever made any big waves, I'm not even sure how I landed at the film, but I was pleasantly surprised the first time I watched it. Since then, it has lost some of its original shine, but people with an affinity for 00s genre cinema should give it a go.
It's a crafty thriller with tense scenes and solid performances. It's also one of those films where knowing the plot slightly lessens the experience. The styling is pleasant but nothing too out of the ordinary, the scenes with the cops are a little redundant, and even though the film is pretty short, a bit of tightening would've helped. Prime genre filler.
