Killers Movie’s Brutal Reviews Explained: "Unless You’re On An Airplane Or At The Penitentiary

Killers was infamously ridiculed by critics, and there are a number of reasons why its reviews were so bad. The movie follows Spencer (Ashton Kutcher), a retired assassin who falls in love with and marries Jen (Katherine Heigl), a woman who has no idea about his real job. Their happy suburban life inevitably comes crashing down due to Spencer’s occupation. Killers was a highly anticipated action comedy in the summer of 2010, as Heigl was coming off the box office success of Knocked Up and Kutcher was becoming a go-to charming rom-com actor. On paper, Killers should have been a huge hit given its romantic action concept and star power.
