Once Liza vanishes all the comedy leaves with her. The opening act is actually rather fun as Chip and Liza's relationship works well in this darkly comedic bit. First off, 68 Kill is incredibly boring once Chip leaves Liza. So Chip takes the money, tries to get away with Violet in the trunk of his car with Liza in hot pursuit, ends up dealing with other crazy ladies, makes every wrong choice you can imagine, and I felt like I needed a drink at the end of it.
The pair kidnap a woman named Violet (Alisha Boe) who witnessed the aftermath of their crimes, and Liza wants to sell Violet to Dwayne so he can rape, torture, and dismember her. The plan goes bad when Chip learns that Liza is, in fact, a psychotic murderer who also partakes in all sorts of insane stuff with her brother Dwayne (but not incest, she makes that clear). Liza learns that the dude she prostitutes herself to has a big wad of cash - $68,000 exactly, hence the title - so she convinces Chip to help her steal it. um, that smart guy from Criminal Minds with the weird hair) - a timid dude working a dead-end job who's been in a 6-month relationship with his crazy-hot and crazy-abusive girlfriend Liza (AnnaLynne McCord). 68 Kill is the story of Chip (Matthew Gray Gubler. McCord I liked, the rest of 68 Kill however. I honestly only watched this film because I liked AnnaLynne McCord in Excision and saw she was playing a crazy lady again. It comes across as a film that needed to be tightened up or have another set of eyes fix its glaring flaws.
Directed by Trent Haaga who is known mostly for his low-budget horror film works, 68 Kill aims to be some odd mix of gore-horror and sleazy dark comedy but lands in neither camp. 68 Kill is one of those films that is bad in ways that annoy me the most - it shot itself in the foot.
