The Killing Jar DVD Review
Synopsis: Working the late shift at a remote diner turns into an unrelenting nightmare for waitress Noreen (Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s Amber Benson) when she and six customers learn of a nearby murder spree that’s connected to a mysterious stranger (Kill Bill’s Michael Madsen) who just walked in the door. A hostage situation quickly erupts, resulting in shocking outbursts of violence and even more startling revelations they could have never anticipated. Packed with twists and high-voltage performances, this white-knuckle thriller also featuring Danny Trejo (Machete) and Harold Perrineau (TV’s Lost) will keep you guessing all the way to the shocking end!
Review: This film has a lot of potential in the plot set-up and the cast. The film has some good level violence, though not a lot of what I'd consider action. The inclusion of cult favorites Michael Maden AND Danny Trejo was a great choice and that should've made the movie, but the plot has to be there too. Honestly, this wasn't the coolest movie of all-time, but it was really entertaining. I'm glad that I gave it a watch. The twists in the story are great and while its a little slow moving at times, its overall a lot of fun.
