Main casts are gorgeous
ilovefoodcoma10 December 2019
The script is not very well done. Some of the acting are too cheesy. The best part of the movie is the main casts are gorgeous.

Suspenseful acton with a little romance thrown in!
ymouloua17 March 2022
Not having read the book, I didn't know what to expect from the movie. It was a pleasant surprise to see William Levy take on a co-producing role, while acting as the lead, too. I have been following his work for a while and am happy to see him foray into production. For those of us who watched him in other work we know that there is an allure to him due to his sex appeal. He has been typecast as the latin hottie. It can be difficult to get roles when you look like him. However, although there is intimacy in this movie, I can see that there was a push for him to venture into more of an action role. There is room for improvement both in the acting and production. There are some unexpected twists and thought this was an enjoyable Spanish language film. I would love to see a second movie follow this one.

A bit confusing
nicolevrd18 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I have so many unanswered questions after watching this movie (spoiler alert-do not read further if this will bother you).

1. What is the link between the microchip and Hamburg and how did she not know it was there? 2. She was the only one who wasn't sold to Javier, then why did her parent give her to him? 3. At first I thought Lydia and Guzman's sister were the same person, they didn't make it clear until much later. 4. There were so many flashes that i had to rewind twice to see who killed Javier, and then I wondered why they didn't check and ensure he was dead, given what happened with Javier's sadistic sister. 5. If she's having flashback ptsd when they are intimate the first time, then why not try a different position the next time? 6. Who or what is the 'Order', is Hamburg running it? 7. Biggest question was what happened at the end of the movie. Are they together, if so, then when and how did they reconnect? Since they weren't physically together at the end, did he even know she was there? Is she an assassin now (after only a year)? Why would she go somewhere that Hamburg has control over, given the way they last saw him? Does she work for the 'Order' now? The ending is so unclear, it almost ruins the entire movie.

-despite all these unanswered questions it was a fun movie with pretty actors for main characters. If you don't expect too much from the movie, it is entertaining.

Perfect balance of action and sensuality...
andyhain7 December 2019
You simply must see this great Mexican gangster story with an attractive, compelling cast that kept me in my seat throughout this action movie on Friday Dec 6. Leading Lady Alicia "The Body" Sanz is so wonderfully at home in the altogether (both in the shower and while being strip-searched for a tracking device) that her scenes could exist separately and still be a box office hit !!! 8 out of 10 for the movie... 10 out of 10 for Miss Sanz. Highly Recommended!

Avoidable
faer_kr31 March 2021
An action movie with a bit of suspense and drama.

It is about a hit man who is hired by a mobster to kill someone and after closing the deal he is wanted because a girl runs away with him.

Quality.

Parsimonious.

The problem is that the film takes off very well but then it gets lost in ideas and in the end it no longer makes any sense.

Even the original plot ends quickly and they put other subplots to fill in the time.

Some scenes that are intended to be suspenseful are too long.

The few action scenes are passable.

Some performances are good and some are not so good.

Unnecessary sexual scenes.

He does not speak of anything.

Avoidable.

Fast could not understand what's going on
yoyororo-2249530 August 2021
So disappointed at the way they make the whole movie it make the book look super trashy when in fact it was one of the amazing books I've ever read. You literally need to read the book to be able to understand what's happening because everything was super fast. I was so excited but after few minutes I couldn't continue watching, poor acting and terrible directing I hate how the screen goes black after EVERY scene screaming that a new chapter will begin now. The leads have no chemistry I can count the number of times they talk to each other couldn't understand when they fell in love they were super unattractive with the emotions and all...

Hot !
jennfinn12 June 2020
I loved the book Killing Sarai by JA Redmerski so I was excited to see it was being made into a movie. William Levy and Alicia Sanz are amazing as the lead couple Victor Faust and Sarai/Izabel. I hope they continue with the rest of the In The Company of Killers series.

Waste of time

This movie is too stupid. It is an insult to anybody's intelligence. The plot is inexistent and the acting is terrible.

Awful awful film.

Great movie! Highly recommended!
georgyia13 July 2020
Just watched this movie and felt compelled to write a review. I went out of my way to create an IMDB account for this so that's something. It's such a great production, well executed and with very good actors! and of course, two gorgeous leading actors William and Alicia which are very talented and they show this beautifully in the movie. This could so easily be a series that I'm sure many would love to see.

Passion and action
sramirez-134559 December 2019
In as actually wanted to see the movie because I'm a big William Levy fan and a romance sucker. So I loved the idea of the storyline. It being in Spanish made it that much more awesome. William and Alicia played great chemistry between their characters even not long after they met each other in character you can see the chemistry "Victor" and "Sarai" gave off each other without words. And I felt the action was there in the movie. I'm hoping they continue the book series into movies.

Amazing for a perfect friday night
asaltmark27 January 2023
I really like the movie. The action scenes are spectacular, i love the sensuality of the characters. The places are awesome, really beautifull!

Intriguing Plot that makes Lots of interesting plot-twists during the whole movie.

I also love the esthetic, the light and art are superb. I also love de costume design.

I ve really liked the actors and actresses specially the protagonist woman.

It is really difficult make a movie from a book , and this one was very well done.

I would like to se a sequel maybe being the girl the protagonist and turning herself into à serial killer like a 007 woman. And it would be cool to be shot somewhere with a beach o a dessert.
