A tormented woman and a serial killer end up in a whirlwind love story leading to a killing spree.

This crime thriller packs romance, intrigue, noisy action-packed, excitement, suspense, thrills and lots of violence. Stars a woman named Laura (Sienna Guillory) usually mistreated and harassed by her evil husband Toby (Emmett J. Scanlan). She has a single, friendly relationship with a mysterious old man called Richard (John Voight) who offers her comfort and wise advice in her turbulent life. Seeking vengeance against her abusive husband, Laura's life takes a dark and twisted turn when she meets a mysterious, professional hitman (Jamie Bamber) who displays efficiently his weapons and killing mercilessly his targets. Both of whom become entangled in a whirlwind romance that results in unexpected consequences. Clean. Fast. A professional who assumes the position of top hit-man ! . He has 100 ways to kill... and they all work!An uneven thriller with emotion, a thunderous romance, thrills, twists, turns and a lot of vigilante killings of criminals. The main matter issue results to be a twisted love story, when a woman delves deeper in her lover, she questions her partner's true nature and their hidden motives and the shadows they both conceal. Stars Sienna Guillory as a deranged woman whose life takes a dark turn after a chance encounter with a mysterious hitman well played by Jamie Bamber, a contract killer who makes his missions of the way more mechanic and perfect. And the third wheel is aptly portrayed by the super-veteran and tireless old actor John Voight. It's certainly thrilling, though the morality may be questionable, even in this time, as the spectators were clearly on the Sienna Guillory's side.This is the typical hitman film, adding a peculiar romance, about a professional assassin and a disciple or assistant who helps him in his criminal activities, whose main representation was The Mechanic (1972) by Michael Winner with Charles Bronson as the master killer and Jean-Michael Vincent as the apprentice. It had a sequel, The Mechanic (2011) by Simon West, starring Jason Statham and Ben Foster in similar roles.The motion picture was decently written/produced by Steven Paul, known for such commercial successes as the Baby Geniuses franchise, Ghost in the Shell starring Scarlett Johansson, and the Ghost Rider and Ghost Rider 2: Spirit of Vengeance. ¨Strangers¨ was professionally directed by Tony Dean Smith, but nothing special, since most of the situations that occur in the story are predictable and we've seen them before. His feature-film directorial debut, Volition, is an elevated sci-fi thriller that has swept up awards across the world, being Winner as Best Director OIFF 2019 at the Ostia International Film Festival for and receiving rave reviews from Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, and Rotten Tomatoes. Tony Dean directed Jon Voight and Jonathan Rhys Meyers in the Paramount+ feature film, Mercy. He continues to write/develop his next personal projects while directing dramas and thrillers including Disappearance In Yellowstone, The Killer Downstairs and an upcoming supernatural drama. He was the youngest director on the acclaimed television series Robson Arms and has won numerous awards and accolades for his directing, starting with his award-winning 35mm short film, Reflection. Stranger (2024) rating: 5/10. Average but acceptable and passable.

A very fine non politically correct movie

The actors are good, the actress is very good, look a lot like Kate Blanchet, which I love !The story is very interesting, mystery and intriguing. The end is not predictable, which I like very much. Finally it is a well deserved 7 / 10 minimum. I doubt that the note of 4 on IMDB is because this film is not politically correct, which I love too ! Bravo.

A Deep Dive Into Emotion vs Logic & Reason

Again, I find myself at odds with what may be the majority of the raters and reviewers here on IMDB. As I write this review, there are only 272 votes and a dismal 4.3 rating here on IMDB for this wonderful film Strangers. Mine is one of the first (if not the first) written review so my question is: If this movie is so bad, why aren't people reviewing it instead of just rating it poorly?I think this film is really good. Not great, but really, really good. The entire cast, and I mean ALL the actors and actresses in Strangers did a great job. Jon Voight is superb as usual. The direction was spot on, the lighting, the sound, the sets, the scenery were all good. The locations were beautifully shot. This movie is a great exposé on how vulnerable people can be manipulated and taken advantage of. It displays the great danger and disadvantage in letting emotion overrule logic and reason.The trailer almost spoils the "twist" near the end of the film but it doesn't completely give away all of it. The ending was not what I would have preferred and the ending may or may not be what you prefer but this is a movie worth watching....and probably more than once.
