“Killerman” (** out of four) was a sordid underworld thriller about two money launderers (Chris Helmsworth and Emory Cohen) in NYC who become involved in a lucrative drug deal that backfires once corrupt cops become involved and one (Helmsworth) escapes with amnesia and the drugs and money and has to piece together his involvement in the incident while staying alive and trying to expose the corruption involving the cops and the underworld. Violent and ugly thriller is never boring but gives you no one to root for. Gritty NYC atmosphere is well-captured by writer/director Malik Bader and cinematographer Ken Seng but isn’t enough to kill the bad taste the film leaves behind.
