For the first 10 minutes, I wondered if Kill ’Em All
weren’t a movie at all, but a collection of unrelated action vignettes —
a bomb hit here, a knife throw there, fists and feet everywhere — as
seemingly unrelated characters fight, but hardly speak, with no story
given.
Comedy Rod Lott Nature Calls
finds writer/director Todd Rohal attempting to shoehorn the

got one week to retirement," because it signals — with flashing neon
and everything — that life is going to royally upend those plans.
