Age of Kill
Age of Kill is the new action thriller movie from Richwater films, the company behind Vendetta and We Still Kill the Old Way. I always loved both of those films and this one too has a fantastic dynamic and unpredictable plot so they get an immediate thumbs up from us.
Martin Kemp works it in full blast, being very badass yet really cool at the same time.
And if I’m honest I would love to see him and Luke Goss in a movie they share a fair resemblance and could easily be brothers or something.
Kemp is Sam Blake, the black ops sniper mentioned in the plot; he’s not the moral nice fella, but a shady operative who has committed more than a handful of bad things and now a shadowy figure who has captured his offspring is nagging him to perform some other wrongful acts. It’s kind of like Saw, especially when it comes to the voice of the abductor that is warped but mercifully not quite so sickeningly violent.
Age of Kill is a great delight, since it defies all clichés of the generic thriller and its tropes. We get to examine the subtle politics, in this case what lies beneath the very British veneer of racism in the UK. However, I would have wanted to spend quite a bit more time in the politics of it all – it was interesting.
The duration of the film is 85 minutes so the pace is quick, however it felt a little too brief and as I said earlier, I would have wanted to explore the antiestablishment views of the British society too. I suspect it would have muddled the pacing, but what we do have is stupendously enjoyable.
In this movie the supporting cast is quite impressive too and includes Bruce Payne, Dexter Fletcher and Patrick Bergin. I hated seeing Patrick Bergin looking so old but still, I must say he has a nice screen presence and a charming voice too when he is on screen.
As for the action, there was a single hand to hand fight, specifically from the point of view of Kemp which was quite fresh to see it was also the most dynamic of the sequences. There are mainly shoot-outs as well but none that involve large numbers of people or resources. There are constraints to the budget but Neil Jones as a director makes the best of the given circumstances and keeps the audience at the edge of their seats.
A quick word to avoid spoiling the film further, Age of Kill is yet another film that would make Rich-water films proud containing a wonderful cast, quick pace and good action segments.
