    Meh but could have been good
    I got reeled in, only to be let down. I liked the idea of the story, and sided with the monster. It was interesting enough to finish but I still have no idea why Banderas was actually killed. What did he do???!!! I still want to know. I've even tried Google, but nothing.

    The supporting cast acting was atrocious. The main cast were quite good, but the script let it down badly. If they'd have just told more of a story it could have been so much better.

    I kept thinking, here's the twist, but it never came. I was worried Banderas had done something to Jamie, that would have ruined it for me, but thankfully he didn't, I don't think anyway.

    If anyone can answer, why he got killed, I'd really appreciate it.

    I'd have given more stars if it had actually been explained.

    No Thrill Kill Cult for this Cult Killer. YAWN
    "Cult Killer," a film that initially enticed viewers with the presence of Antonio Banderas, sadly fails to deliver on its promise of a thrilling and suspenseful experience.

    The film's pacing is its most glaring flaw. Instead of gripping the audience's attention, it meanders leisurely, lacking real thrills or drama. A seasoned actor, Banderas is relegated to a supporting role, spending most of his screen time delivering incoherent lines.

    The plot, which revolves around a private investigator and a cop investigating the murder of a mentor, has potential but is executed poorly. The antagonist's mission to eliminate child abusers feels forced and unrealistic.

    Predictability is another major issue. The story follows a classic formula, leaving little room for surprises or twists. Viewers can easily guess the outcome from the beginning, resulting in a lack of excitement and intrigue.

    Unnecessary dialogues and scenes further detract from the film's quality. The fight scene with guards feels out of place, and the excessive violence lacks context and meaning.

    "Cult Killer" is a wasted opportunity. Its predictable plot, unnecessary dialogues, and out-of-context violence fail to captivate audiences. Despite a talented cast, their performances cannot salvage the lackluster execution. Save your time and consider watching Paint Peel.
