Kill Your Friends
Directed by Owen Harris
As the twentieth century breathes its very last, with Britpop at its zenith, twenty-seven-year-old A&R man Steven Stelfox (Hoult) is slashing and burning his way through London’s music industry. Blithely crisscrossing the globe in search of the next megahit—fueled by greed and inhuman quantities of drugs and alcohol—Stelfox freely indulges in an unending orgy of self-gratification. But the industry is changing fast, the hits are drying up, and the only way he’s going to salvage his sagging career is by taking the idea of “cutthroat” to murderous new levels.
With Britpop at its zenith, someone is slashing and burning his way through London’s music industry.

It was a ok
doesn't feel like a horror movie until maybe the last half hour, but the ending is strong, as is the acting. none of the characters are likable & it's pretty much impossible to sympathize with the protagonist even as his life takes a nosedive, but it's fun to follow the ups and downs of plot (however cliché - reviews that call this a knockoff of american psycho are.... not wrong). it's a good movie to watch if you don't feel like thinking and/or feel like reveling in bad people just being bad people
Not nearly enough killing. So much talking though. God, I wished they would all die for the amount of "snarky streetsmarts" chatting he was doing. Did not give a f.
Basically just a dumbed-down version of American Psycho with less violence, less intrigue and scene after scene of people doing coke. Not worth the time, just watch AS again.
excellent soundtrack and visuals. reminds me of trainspotting
