    Annoyingly average, fatally unfocused ............
    Being a big fan of J.S. Cardone's film "Blue Day Black Night", I was anticipating something along those lines with "A Climate For Killing". Unfortunately the latter film is annoyingly average. It starts out with a decapitation murder, but then bogs down for the next hour and a half. Characters that have no bearing on the outcome are introduced, and then disappear forever. These unnecessary dead ends, and almost constant flashbacks accompanied by explanations leave the movie with zero suspense. The various relationships really never feel genuine, and the bad guy doesn't appear until just before the credits roll. "A Climate For Killing" is a fatally unfocused film. - MERK
