A Job to Kill For (2006)

Best movie of this year hands down!

Excellent, a Must See

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

When i watched it at the end i almost cried i mean she killed her and trash talked her how mean is that? She was also trying to kill her husband how sad. Overall it was a pretty good movie until the sad part. Everyone should have an employer like Stacy. I liked the remark "Looks like your perfect execution was'int so perfect." Cant wait till shes thrown in jail for the rest of her life. So 8 out of 10. After all Stacy did she killed her. NO one should have a boss like Jennifer. The twist was sad i cant believe she said those things and then killed her like that i mean Stacy loved her. (kinda strange really) So i think a part of me died inside when she killed her own "Friend" Really super sad. But whoever directed it was a genius imagination. But that's what to expect from lifetime the death of the innocent. Really great movie though.

I've come to the conclusion that none of these 'Canadian made in British Columbia tax incentive films' will ever be better than about a 2 or 3 on a scale of 10 on a world-class scale so with that said, I give this a 7 out of 10 on a Canadian scale, or about a 1.25 out of 10 on a world scale.As for the acting, Georgia Craig plays a very good psycho and really reminded me of a few crazy obsessive ex girlfriends I've had over the years - very disturbing. One girl friend I had like that, I got so fed up with her antics that one day I literally pulled up to the curb, told her to get out of the car and then I drove away never to speak with her again. There's nothing except maybe a screaming baby that's quite as annoying as a clingy, blubbering chick in the midst of a hissy fit. Well anyway, that's what Georgia Craig looks like, a crying blubbering psycho.Sean Young was really good in Blade Runner. All the actors in Blade Runner should have quit right after it was made because none of them have ever been in as good a film since.The end of this film is good so if you can make it through the first 99%, you'll enjoy the last 1%. You could also just record the last 3 minutes and skip the rest of the film.My favorite part though is when the crazy chick kills a guy who specializes in selling ONLY stolen car mirrors, not any other car parts, just the side mirrors which if you think about it makes absolutely no sense at all since it would be a hell of a lot of work to remove a cars side mirrors -- you'd have to first break into the car without setting off the alarm, then remove the inside door panels, using a ratchet, you'd have to reach inside the door and undo the nuts holding the mirror on etc., so bottom line, you're talking a good 15 minutes minimum per mirror so it's not a good way to make a living to say the least. But the worst part is, not only is it a bad way to pay for your drug habit, but in the end you could get beaten to death in a parking lot by some crazy chick with a tire iron.

It states in the ad that it's a film where an attractive woman vies against a corporation and takes over. First of all, she's not that attractive. Believe me. Georgia Craig plays the role and she's far from pretty. In fact there's a scene where she puts the make on this old geezer. It couldn't have been a worse choice. To think he must have been that desperate to go after the likes of her. With stringy hair and a nose that points towards mecca, she's quite homely. Let's forget her and move on to the dullest performance in the film. That of Sean Young. Blank expressions and monotone voice make her the most uninteresting character in the movie. Why the husband would want to stay with her and why the bimbo would want to kill for her is beyond me. Ari Cohen, the husband, is the victim here. Both as the actor and the character.Then we have two idiot detectives that have to be a joke. Mutt and Jeff seem to bungle everything. That they represent the law is a laugh and embarrassing to the viewer.So, bad script, bad casting, bad acting make this a ridiculous movie not even for desperate audiences that have nothing else to do. Better to read a book, folks.

Sean Young is Jennifer Kamplen, a top ad exec who hires the assistant from hell in "A Job to Kill For," which recently premiered on Lifetime. It features Young sporting her familiar pouffy hairdo and dressed in earth tones (and basically anything that will wash her out) as a new, highly valued employee of a large advertising agency. The Kamplen character comes with stereotype attached: Her marriage to an artist is in trouble because she works so many hours and is devoted to her work, she is tough as nails, and she gets a rush working 18 hours a day. Then she hires Stacy, who convinces Jennifer that she's not only good at her job but shares Jennifer's strong work commitment. The only problem with Stacy is, she gets her results using sex, murder, and blackmail. When given the responsibility of an account while Jennifer makes a last ditch attempt to save her marriage, Stacy shows signs of a psychotic crumble.Young basically walks through this placidly without demonstrating any emotion, while Georgia Craig, who plays the volatile Stacy, chews the scenery. She's a very accomplished Canadian actress, but everyone else is so downplayed, she almost comes off as over the top. It's probably appropriate for someone who's NUTS, but one wonders throughout how Jennifer doesn't see how frighteningly intense she is and that Stacy a little too devoted to her.There is an attempt to build the characters of the two detectives who are brought in to investigate several murders, but it comes off as silly and unnecessary.The movie has a double twist. Despite its derivative moments and the absurdity of the plot, it's entertaining.
