Of course when you sit down to watch a movie such as "Killer Rose" (aka "Cold Blooded Killers") it is mainly because it has low budget movie stars Caroline Williams and Felissa Rose on the cast list.
Well, first of all the storyline told in "Killer Rose" is actually not all that bad. Sure, it was plagued by subpar dialogue writing, but the concept idea of the storyline and plot was actually adequate. And it certainly made for an okay action movie.
Let's face it, the storyline, while being entertaining enough, just wasn't exactly rocket science. It was not a storyline that challenged the intellect of the viewer, nor did it require much of an attention span either to keep up to speed with what was going on. This was, pure and simply, mindless action.
The movie does suffer from a couple of things dragging it down. The dialogue for starters, it was just immature and hollow writing, which added very little depth to the characters that had to spew forth aforementioned dialogue. And also the fact that neither director or performers seemed to be well-traversed in knowing how firearms and recoil functions. It was just painful to watch the performers mill about throughout the movie and firing pistols, shotguns and rifles left and right, and yet there was little to no recoil at all. Actually, not much of any reloading going on either, come to think of it.
Some of the camera-work throughout the movie was definitely interesting and added some interesting angles to some scenes.
It should also be noted that the music they had in the movie was definitely good, and it was something that complimented the movie a great long way.
"Killer Rose" is a low budget action movie that definitely has spirit and potential. It could have been much more enjoyable, if they had tightened in the belt and upped the production and paid more attention to detail. And, of course, by having the dialogue completely re-written into something more fluid and believable.
I was actually adequately entertained by writer and director Rickey Bird Jr.'s 2021 movie. And I am rating it a four out of ten stars.
