Royal Kill (2009)
6/10
Half Decent Movie

Warning: Spoilers
I just watched this movie on Netflix. The name and the description definitely caught my attention because I was in the mood for "Knight in Shining Armor" type of movie.

This was definitely not that type of movie.

The description is, at its best, misleading. The story of the female assassin and the ordinary soldier is all in this man's head. In (this) reality, Adam is a security guard at a museum and unknowingly has a double life as a serial killer due to schizophrenia. Everything that has to deal with the Himalayan Kingdom and Nadia is fake and is imagined by Adam.

The beginning seemed long and drawn out, but since the fight scene between the "warrior" and "Nadia" (which is really just Adam and his imagination), I was on the edge of my seat more or less thinking, "wtf?" as all these plot twists were being tossed out at me. It seemed like, "OK, so he is Nadia, I can get that. Oh, now this other kingdom planned it all, I can get that. Wait, so it is all completely imaginary? OK... I think I can get that..." It was just too many plot twists. I can't say that it was a bad thing, because I was still on the edge of my seat for it, but it didn't tickle my fancy.
