There's little to praise and much to fault about "Killing Emmett Young" as it was entitled on cable. An old story about a cop with a terminal illness who hires a 3rd party hitman to kill him so he won't suffer and then learns the lab screwed up his blood test results and he's really not going to die...at least not from the disease. He tries desperately to call off the hit but the middleman is terminally unavailable. Etc. This uninspired indie seems to be little more than a paycheck for some good actors who dutifully go through the requisite motions. However, there is some interconnectedness between characters and subplots capable of whetting interest which may be sufficient to make this flick couch potato fodder. Worth Tivo'ing where the investment is minimal and the delete button is only a thumb away. (C+)
