Reggie and Patrice had been childhood friends and when Patrice's only sibling, Gordon, got in over his head with a money-laundering scheme it didn't take Reggie much convincing to help out. The two devised a plan that would divert attention from Gordon and protect his safety.

The plan was to have Patrice pretend to be a hitman hired by Reggie and Gordon's boss, a mysterious and powerful stranger. Little did they know that they were about to create something much bigger.

Once the plan was set in motion, things quickly spiraled out of control. Before they knew it, news of their hitman scheme had reached an art dealer. Realizing the potential for a massive money-laundering operation, the art dealer wanted to use Patrice as an overnight avant-garde sensation. He proposed to make art out of Patrice's violent escapades.

The pair debated the proposal and eventually agreed, but not without a few rules. As a precaution Mickey, their boss, was paying to ensure their safety; no one would be able to hurt either Patrice or Gordon. In addition, Patrice and Reggie decided to also send part of the profits to Mickey's organization in order to signal their cooperation in the money-laundering scheme.

Over the next few months, Patrice and Reggie navigated a dangerous web of criminals, art dealers, and underworld figures. They worked to keep their identities secret and managed to pull a huge sum of money from the art dealer. All the while, the art dealer made Patrice into a sensation, resulting in her becoming a star in the underworld.

But the plan also had an unexpected side effect. Patrice found herself torn between the art world and the underworld, eventually having to rely on her own cunning and wit to survive. With time and knowledge, she was able to stay one step ahead of her enemies, becoming one of the best in the business and eventually earning a fortune for herself, Reggie and Gordon.

The film was released by Shout! Studios on September 28, 2023.

Synopsis

The art world meets the underworld when a money-laundering scheme accidentally turns a hitman into an overnight avant-garde sensation.[3]

Cast

Production

The film was announced in April 2022, with Uma Thurman and Samuel L. Jackson starring, Jonathan Jacobson writing the screenplay, and Nicol Paone set to direct.[4] In April 2022, it was announced that Joe Manganiello was cast. In May 2022, Dree Hemingway was revealed to have joined the cast.[5] That same month, reality television star Leah McSweeney was revealed to be making her feature film debut in the project,[6] and shortly afterwards Maya Hawke was announced as working with her mother, Thurman, on a project for the first time.[7] In June 2022, WWE wrestler Liv Morgan was announced to have joined the cast.[8]

Principal photography began in New York and New Jersey in early 2022.[9] Filming was reported in Hoboken at Field Colony, a coworking space within an art gallery that was used as the primary shooting location. The furniture was removed and flat floor-to-ceiling flat panels were installed to recreate a 'white box' art gallery.[10][11] Novado Gallery in Jersey City[12] was used as a secondary art gallery for the film. Filming was scheduled to finish in June 2022, but issues with weather caused a delay and a re-location to Lavallette, New Jersey in October 2022.[13]

Release

In July 2023, Shout! Studios acquired the North American rights to The Kill Room.[14] It was released in the United States on September 28, 2023.[15]

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 58% of 19 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.3/10.[16] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 62 out of 100, based on five critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.[17]
