Raph and Max only kill bad guys, and only after their boss Sam, a high-powered attorney, has cashed a nice paycheck for getting her sleazy clients off the hook. When Sam sends our heroes on a routine hit, they find themselves caught up in a conspiracy they never imagined. But whatever trouble they've gotten themselves into is nothing compared to the wrath of Raph's wife if he doesn't make it home in time for his son's birthday party. Being a good hit man is tough; being a good dad is killer!

Reviews
StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Andy Van Scoyoc I lost count of how many times I bypassed this movie on Amazon Prime. I like Al Snow, but the cover of the film on AP, looked so stupid, I couldn't bring myself to watch it. Bored, scrolling completely through every AP zombie movie listed, twice, and coming up with nothing, I decided that this movie couldn't - in any way - possibly be any worse than the rancid garbage I've seen as of late.Glad I finally gave in and watched it. Al Snow and John Wells work very well together...very believable as partners, but John Wells steals the entire film. Glib, hilarious and a complete smart alleck, he's the type of character you love to watch because he makes a film, fun. I know he's done some serious roles and I'd like to see if he can as easily as he makes it seem, move from one personality, to another.Different story line and just genuinely fun.Give it a go. While not the greatest film ever made, you'll be glad you watched it.
Rabh17 The premise is simple and old as late night TV. But here, it's the two hit men who pull this one off. Campy, yet not overboard. Funny dialogue that doesn't take itself too serious, yet interjects a lot of "Yeah-Right!". And under it all, they rip right into the whole Alien Monsters loose in a Lab trope with some beautiful zingers. And Al Snow carries his part with justice. It good to see a WWF guy step into the acting ring and show his real talents.And most of all, the big question is whether the guys will make it home in time for the kid's Birthday party.This one is great tension relief for a Friday Night after a Long work week. Nice, Light and Funny as heck.
Woodyanders Henpecked hit-man Raph (a sturdy and likable performance by Al Snow) is asked by his hard-nosed attorney boss Samantha Carter (a pleasingly sparky turn by Katie Stewart) to work on a Saturday. Things go terribly awry when Raph finds himself locked in a zombie infested lab with his eager partner Max (an equally sound and engaging portrayal by John Wells). Worse yet, Raph has his son's birthday party to attend. Writers/directors Matt Niehoff and Brian Cunningham offer an extremely inspired, energetic, and entertaining blend of crime, action, humor, and horror: The brisk pace never lets up for a minute, the breezy tongue-in-cheek tone is well sustained throughout, the rousing action set pieces are staged with rip-roaring brio, and there's plenty of gore splattered around. Snow and Wells display a strong and appealing natural chemistry in the leads; their constant snappy rat-a-tat-tat banter in particular is simply hilarious. The rest of the cast are likewise up to par, with especially praiseworthy work from Sebrina Siegel as the tough Stephanie, Cristina Mullins as Raph's formidable wife Tammy, Erica Goldsmith as the feisty Monica, and Rita Hight as the deranged Dr. Bolland. The filmmakers warrant extra kudos for thankfully avoiding the usual end-of-the-world apocalyptic zombie premise. Cunningham's sharp and dynamic cinematography greatly enhances the movie's galvanizing hopped-up flashy style. Jason Paige's cool rocking score hits the spirited spot. A total blast.
ekinds This is one hell of a fun ride!!! From the start, it digs in, stays constant and exciting and is just a fun and thrilling ride!!! There are no "lulls" or "lagging" parts to it. There is no tedious sub-plot that seems to stay unresolved--it starts with a bang (literally)and continues to thrill, amuse and entertain until the very end!!! The makeup effects are wonderful!! This movie does not rely on excessive gore and mirror-tricks to keep the viewer from noticing a weak plot...this is a new and interesting plot that I've not seen before!!! It is appropriately and excitingly done with cool, creepy and action- enhancing effects. And the make-up is just really COOL!!!! The soundtrack is appropriately sequenced and diverse and well-assigned to each scene--special props to Amy Poole's haunting and lovely vocals in the closing song!!This is just a great thrill of a movie...treat yourselves to a fun evening of entertainment, GO SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!!
