Key of Brown (2013) User Reviews

Nice little thriller that tries too hard

[blumdeluxe · 6/10 · 20 December 2017]

"Key of Brown" tells the story of a young woman, who is forced to prostitute herself and finds herself in the middle of a lot of trouble when one of her customers turns out to be a serial killer, which leads to a series of discouraging events, leaving her with a few dead bodies and a need for an alibi.

I have to say that I don't really share or understand the harsh ratings on this film. It is surely no blockbuster but at least the producers come up with a storyline that is not just a further repitition of something already existent. Towards the ending sequences, the plot becomes a bit too unrealistic for my taste, at least the last murder wouldn't have been necessary, but however the actions of the characters remain plausible and the crew takes their film serious.

All in all this is a nice alternative to all the big scaled thriller movies, not perfect but authentic and with quite a few twists. Nothing to be awarded but something that calls for respect for the producers, who made much out of a small budget.

Didn't make it through the first murder...

Because the first victim, even after being stabbed, would not shut up and assess her situation. She just talked through her gag and swore the entire time the actor playing the murderer was trying to build his character. Her utter lack of fear, or even thinking it was a kink job made her clueless and stupid.

Not believable

This so-called serial killer is wanted by the FBI for trafficking kilos of heroin? That in and of itself makes the story unbelievable. A kilo of "boy" cost roughly $80,000 to $100,000.. how could a guy who made it to the top of the food chain like that be a serial killer?.. so in between drug deals he kills women? Why? When does he have time? Then they way the madam sent the trick to her on such short notice was a no-no.. why would she send a client to one of her girls without vetting him? She never even met him.. once he arrives at her place, she got high with him.. which was dumb.. what we have here is a case of the blind leading the blind. I didn't even make it halfway through this movie because nothing was adding up.
