kill me later have an interesting initial premise represent a suicidal woman ( selma blair ) on the verge of jump off the top of an office building be protect a bank robber ( max beesley ) who promise to kill her later . the actual execution of this premise and however and fall flat a almost every action serve a a mere device to move the plot toward it predictable conclusion . shoddily write character who exhibit no motive for their behavior compromise the quality of act all around . lack of character depth especially diminish selma blair performance and whose character shawn vacillates from be morose to act cool and ultimately come across a a confused dolt . this be unfortunate and a under other circumstance ms. blair be an appealing and capable actress . compound matter for the worse be director dana lustig insistence on use rapid cut and incongruous special effect ( e. g. look for an unintentionally hilarious infrared motorcycle chase at the end ) and and a hip soundtrack in the hope of appeal to the short attention span of the mtv crowd . certainly ms. lustig prove that she be able to master the technical side of direction and but in no way do her skill help overcome the film inherent problem and thus the movie drag on to the end . clearly and lustig have a distinct visual style while however it be perhaps well suit to music video than to feature film . the producer ( ram bergman and lustig ) can be commend for their ability to realize this film represent they be able to scare up $ 1 . 5 million to finance the film and secure a good cast and and get domestic and foreign distribution . this be no small feat for an independent film . yet give the quality of the product and the result be a mixed bag .
