Kill Me If You Dare Review –

I think there is one thing that is almost universal across most cultures: what would you do if you won the lottery, or as we call it here, the lotto? Just asking that question probably provoked a number of thoughts as to what you would do with such a large amount of money. But what would you do if you were married and things were not as good as they could be?

So to set the scene, we open in this grand romantic gesture as Piotr (Mateusz Banasiuk) races to catch Natalia (Weronika Ksiązkiewicz) before she leaves on the train. But while he misses the train, he does not miss the love of his life, and he instantly proposes. Five years later, the love is not as strong as it once was, but maybe a shock lotto win might change that. Well, perhaps not if each other thinks the other wants to murder them and take the money for themselves.

Well, goodness, Kill Me If You Dare is a ridiculous film. However, one of its strengths is that everyone knows just what sort of film they are in, and they chew every bit of the scenery. At the heart of this are our two leads, Natalia and Piotr, but then also their friends Agata (Agnieszka Więdłocha) and Lukasz (Piotr Rogucki). The idea that all four of them might fundamentally misconstrue what is going on and then act rationally from their perspective but irrationally from the audience, who is privy to all the information, is a solid foundation for your narrative. What if you had a reverse enemy to lovers, but for a really stupid reason?

That kind of fun flows on into the production with a musical score that the subtitles aptly called ‘mischievous’. Also, some of those needle drops were bangers. The casting is on point, with every member of the cast being stunningly gorgeous, something that you kind of need in a romantic comedy like this. The resort setting also helps sell the absurdity of what is going on. Then there are the small details, like the car they drive and the house they live in, that tell you so much more about the characters than is spoken.

Even if you are in the mood for something silly, this is not a perfect film. The ending is very telegraphed, and I am sure you will find it unsurprising at all, even if it might be amusing. There were times when the film slipped from silly to melodrama, and that didn’t help. For the narrative to indeed land, you needed to believe that all the miscommunication could be plausibly explained away, and that is not the case. None of these torpedoed the film, but they were more like speedbumps that didn’t need to be there.

In the end, do we recommend Kill Me If You Dare? Well, I would say that I do. Now, to be fair, I was probably in the right mood for a film like this, and your mileage might vary. If you liked Kill Me If You Dare, we would recommend to you Anyone But You.
