Are they the new Hepburn and Tracy? Alisha Boe, who is distinguishing herself on television, is the breakout star here. The duo also both starred in last year's festival hit "Trash Fire". AnnaLynne McCord is his partner-rival as the stereotypical crazy-beautiful Liza something she is quite good at playing, as seen in "Excision", which coincidentally also starred Gubler. His range of emotion in just his eyes is very intense. Gubler's facial expressions alone should really make him a bigger name than he is. Matthew Gray Gubler is perfectly cast as "sad sack" Chip. But things started going wrong as soon as they were inside the rich man's house, and for Chip it was only the beginning of the longest, most terrifying ride of his life. Nobody would get hurt and they would come out of it with enough loot to solve their problems. It should have been an easy in and out kind of deal. Interested in bringing home this insane neo-grindhouse flick? Check out a clip from the film below and Shout! Factory's page on the film here.Chip Taylor's girlfriend Liza had the perfect plan to rip off her rich sugar daddy. The blacks could have been richer and more defined, but this is a minor quibble. 68 Kill on this release sounds great, and mostly, looks great. It would have been great to have some behind-the-scenes featurettes on the making of the film. Out today, Shout! Factory's blu-ray release is unfortunately bare bones, with just a trailer as a special feature, but I suppose you can't win them all. But if you need to watch something with black humor and fever-pitch plot twists to take your mind off the world, you might really enjoy it. Is 68 Kill a perfect film - or a film for everyone? Definitely not.

Is it full of crazy pulp action, hilarious circumstances, and awesome acting from the female leads (in particular)? Also yes. From there, Chip runs into a number of other unfortunate situations and women, including Monica (Shelia Vand, who shines here), who seems to be what would have happened if Lydia Deetz had grown up to become a small-town crime boss.
She takes over in dominating Chip, but her methods are much kinder and sweeter than the ball- and face-busting Liza. After killing a rich couple (particularly a disgusting jerk named Ken), Liza and Chip find themselves kidnapping Violet (Alicia Boe). Of course, nothing goes right, and this is where the film really begins. Who doesn't want to escape from a life of poverty and debasing jobs? It's not a fortune, but for the poor couple trapped in Hicksville, it'll do just fine. If you haven't heard of this film, here's a recap: Chip (Matthew Gray Gubler) plays a guy easily manipulated into a ton of horrific crimes usually pulled off by his crazy girlfriend Liza (a terrific AnnaLynne McCord), all for the sake of scoring a measly $69,000. Based on Bryan Smith's novel of the same name (a sequel - "68 Kill Part 2" - is already for sale on Amazon). If you read both articles, you'll see how polarizing this film has been to the film community, and I understand and appreciate each position. You can read that interview here and Josh Hurtado's review here. Back in August, I interviewed director Trent Haaga and actor (sometimes director) Matthew Gray Gubler at Fantasia for their new movie, 68 Kill.
