Surprise

Warning: Spoilers
This movie is one of the most surprising films I have ever seen.

I started once to watch it in Polish TV about midnight. Movie was described in TV guide as horror. In fact I didn't want to watch it but I was not sleepy enough to turn off TV set. Thanks God, I haven't done it.. Beginning - nothing special, rather disgusting... Some guy killed another, later on he tried to kill prostitute just for fun... Soon he is ordered to kill some girl... Seems like C class move, isn't' it?

But the story becomes psychodelic. Killer turns out to be human being. His brainless companion becomes killer. The victim wants to be killed...

I do not want to tell the story. But it is strictly complete. It's hard to see such well-invented story in American movie business nowadays. "Killer" has an atmosphere of "Crying Game" or "House of Games" in one. In fact - the story is a riddle, nothing looks like its seemed on the beginning...

Mimi Rogers as fatal woman is marvellous. Her sad, peaceful eyes stay with you for long time ...
