Double-crossed by those he trusted the most, a newbie government hit man discovers that he’s the target for the world’s most dangerous assassin and so begins a ruthless game of kill first of be killed…
In the annals of filmmaking there’s everything from big-budget blockbusters to low-budget indies. Well now welcome the no-budget action movie! Financed through Indiegogo and filmed on the super-cheap in Wellington, New Zealand, Contract Killers at least shares something in common with its low-budget brethren down-under: it’s a damn good film that belies its budget to create what is, essentially, a John Woo-esque action movie that treats gunplay with the same amount of love and respect as the maestro of bullet-ballet did.

Chicago – Cirque du Soleil, which began with two street performers in Quebec in 1984, has grown into a multi-million dollar enterprise with shows on every continent and seven simultaneous extravaganzas in Las Vegas. The Vegas shows make up the storyline for “Cirque du Soleil: World’s Away.”
Rating: 3.5/5.0
The style of Cirque – that of an evolution in artsy, acrobatic big top performance – is an acquired taste, and fans of the concept will probably love the 3D film maneuverings of the various Las Vegas shows. But there is also a redundancy in that style, and because the narrative is spare, it does tend to feel like a circus parade infomercial of “visit exciting Las Vegas, and see these shows live!” It’s best to go in with an open mind and heart towards the Cirque zeitgeist, otherwise the piece just blends together, distinctively visual but a bit empty in the creative variation department.
