The title doesn't leave much to the imagination, does it. But it comes with a twist - the principal character is a guy who kills people, and his name is Killerman. Pretty clever, huh? Except that we're introduced to him as Moe Diamond, part of a money laundering duo that includes Bobby 'The Skunk' (Emory Cohen). Liam Hemsworth is Diamond/Killerman, although we're not let in on his real identity until well into the story. And even then, things become problematic when it's hinted that Moe/Frank Killerman is a cop infiltrating the money laundering racket headed by the Skunk's Uncle Perico (Zlatko Buric). We might have found out about that, but midway into the picture, Moe is injured and falls victim to amnesia. When that happened, I kind of threw up my hands and felt myself a victim of the picture having gotten that far. Complicating matters, a team of dirty cops is on the loose looking for both a drug stash that The Skunk was going to deal outside the normal course of business for his boss, and the cash that was involved in the exchange. It gets pretty convoluted fast if you're not paying attention. If you are paying attention, you'll recognize a plot hole when Moe's pregnant girlfriend winds up missing, Moe believing she's dead, but Uncle Perico stating that she's alive, even if Moe, now Frank, doesn't remember who she is. That plot thread is never wrapped up after Killerman machetes his way out of a jam involving the pair of dirty cops. A narrative following the end of the picture states that it's unknown if Moe/Frank ever figured out who he was, making it sound like this might have been based on something that actually happened. I'm not really ready to accept that, and If you think this review is confusing, just wait till you see the flick.
