After the mobster who murdered his partner is acquitted, semicorrupt detective Robert Bryant hires a beautiful female assassin, Maria, to kill him. When he discovers that he cannot afford Maria's services, Bryant is forced to hire another assassin, Madison, to kill her. Maria survives the doublecross and sets out to collect what's owed to her, one way or another. "Killing Time" is an exploitation film with a revenge theme. What makes it unique, is the method employed for the revenge. A cop whose partner was killed by a mobster boss, hires a classy Italian hit woman to take out the target. As a little insurance, the cop also sends four goons to kill the hit woman, whom he can't afford to pay. This scenario is fertile ground for some black humor intermingled with the revenge plot. Kendra Torgan plays the female assassin, much like Zoe Tamerlis in "Ms 45", She has little to say, but lots of bullets doing her talking. To fully enjoy the movie you must suspend disbelief, and be willing to put up with a lot of meaningless chatter. Recommended of it's type. - MERK Alas, in the great tradition of "The Big Hit" and "Battle Field Earth", where the trailer is actually cooler than the film itself, "Killing Time" is no exception.<br/><br/>I had such high expectations after watching the trailer for this movie. It looked dark, noir-like, sexy with its ultra gorgeous Kendra Torgen as the hit-woman… but all for not. I read the reviews on this website for the movie, and most did not yield the movie too promising. However, I went ahead and rented it…<br/><br/>You know, it's not THAT bad… I think the slow-pace fits the movie; however the "action" sequences where less than climactic. Switching from one static shot to another, in seemingly an almost comical exchange of gunfire, where everyone is standing in plain site, yet no-one hits each other for at least four shots each. <br/><br/>What the film has going for it is the ultra sexy and icy cool M.O. of hit-woman Kendra Torgen… and the dramatic lighting is great in some shots. But overall, the film is a failure at what it was trying to accomplish.<br/><br/>Bottom Line: If you have time to kill, then check it out; otherwise, leave it.
