Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

hwg1957-102-265704 Despite having the great Michael Ironside and the equally great M. Emmet Walsh as brothers (now there is an interesting combination!) this film seems much longer than its 94 minutes with a winding plot concerning photography, revenge, brotherly love and a politician leading to a predictable climax. It is tedious and our hero Max Oliver is dull. This is a shame as he is played by John Pyper-Ferguson who is a decent actor. The script is lame. One kept asking oneself, why doesn't he do that or that or that? It was filmed flatly with boring visuals though the last location scene was set by a very picturesque waterfall, the only interesting looking thing in the film. There probably was a music score but I can't remember any of it so little impression did it make. A forgettable film.

DigitalRevenantX7 CAUTION: Plot spoilers present.Freelance photographer Max Oliver is mourning the death of his brother Ric, who was also in the photo business. Soon Max finds his life invaded by a mysterious figure who is searching for some negatives that implicate the local senator John Kane engaged in an illicit tryst with a prostitute. As the psychopath – revealed to be Kane's psycho brother Luther – frames him for murder in an attempt to force him to hand over some negatives, Max finds a roll of film in his late brother's motorbike & upon processing it discovers that the negatives not only implicate John Kane for his affair but Luther for secretly killing the hooker & dumping her body into a dam.Killer Image was a cheap Canadian B-thriller made in the early 1990s under the tutelage of producer Pierre David's Image Organization production group. The film stars Michael Ironside as a psychopathic killer whose attempts to procure some incriminating evidence of his involvement in some murders comes unstuck when he messes with the brother of one of his victims.As far as cheap thrillers go, Killer Image is something of a disappointment. The opening scene works well enough although could have needed some exposition in order to let viewers understand what is going on. Afterwards, the film gets stuck with second-rate (& not particularly convincing) thriller mechanics. It is never made clear why Ironside's character murdered the hooker since the senator was planning to marry her & why he is trying to frame the photographer for the murders.On the acting front, the actors give decent performances. Michael Ironside is at his best as the sharp-suited killer although he finds himself unstuck by the poor writing & poor characterisation of his character. M. Emmet Walsh gives the film what little dignity is deserves as the senator brother.

lost-in-limbo Edgy, atmospheric little psycho thriller made the more interesting for having Michael Ironside in his usual typecast role. Yep you guess it right… no one does stone-cold, dangerous psycho better than Ironside. What I thought was going to be a political/conspiracy sort of thriller, transcended into a basic on-the-run, cat-and-mouse format between a psycho (whose brother just happens to be a senator up for re-election) and young photographer (whose older brother just recently died taking some discriminating photos). It becomes a battle of wills between the two as Ironside toys around with John Pyper-Ferguson's out-on-his feet character; blackmail, murder and a lot photos. We are thrown right into it, but the narrative while taut and quick moving is quite hazy and unfocused on the details. Things just seem to happen with little insight and can be unbelievably ludicrous. There's no question though, it's as mundane as you can get but David Winning's sharp workman-like handling impulsively engages and so does Ironside's deviously menacing turn as a brother living in the shadows of older brother. Pyper-Ferguson is modest across from him and Krista Errickson is reasonably good as a lady who gets up in it all. Also starring was another well-known face; M. Emmet Walsh adequately holds his own in the small moments he's in. "You killed my happy ending"! "To hell with your happy ending"!

swordfish-1 This is a great film. Can't believe this film is so underrated. It's one of the best thrillers of the year. You really should watch this one. You'll like it. The performance are very good. Good psycho thriller.
