		Any film aiming to be Hitchcockian has a lot to live up to: with its blonde heroine, eerie atmosphere and sweeping score, Killing Me Softly sets itself up for a fall even before the plot kicks in.
		Stylishly filmed by Chen Kaige (the Chinese director's first English feature), this London-set thriller is based on Nicci French's novel about a young American woman, Alice (Heather Graham), and her passionate affair with the mysterious stranger Adam (Joseph Fiennes).
		Smirking his way through the film, Fiennes is as miscast as Graham, who's clearly there for the soft porn love scenes and not the ones where she's a reporter replete with big spectacles.

	kamera.co.uk - film review - Killing Me Softly directed by Chen Kaige - reviewed by Laurence Boyce
		The film is very cliched with the audience able to guess that Adam is actually a good guy underneath it all and the weird Deborah is really a psychopath.
		I just saw the film and its fantastic...I've never saw so a touching film and so a great unrestrained passion..the relation went under but their love never end..wow thats so romantic..the sex was arouse joseph and alice actually very good yeah adam is so overwhelm...yes, the film is beautiful!
		I read the book 'Killing me softly' on which the film is based, before seeing the movie and thought that the movie was a complete let down.

		Continuity: In the graveyard towards the end of the film, Deborah is shot and drops to her knees.
		At the end of the film, back at the same church, the police turn up and the number plates on their cars (GLE and GUA) show they are in Kent or Sussex.
		Continuity: The shots of the accident on the mountain at the beginning of the film are different to the ones shown when Adam is describing the accident, eg.

	Killing Me Softly \| Film \| The Stranger, Seattle's Only Newspaper
		Let me elaborate: The documentary is about Fred A. Leuchter, Jr., an odd-looking chap who is "a self-styled execution technologist" -- meaning he repairs and improves the death machines used by our prison system.
		Questions of guilt or innocence, the fact that most of the men killed by his "humane" inventions are disproportionately fl, or any other social issue that would worry a normal human being never cross his mind.
		This disclosure surprised me. I had thought the Holocaust part of the film was arrived at by pure accident; that Morris' first impulse was toward a simple joke about a man who repairs death machines, and later he stumbled on the serious story of the Holocaust.

	Killing Me Softly
		What brings Killing Me Softly undone is not so much an unflattering comparison to the far superior Suspicion, but that it sinks under the weight of its own insecurity.
		Killing Me Softly doesn't represent a career high point for either Graham or Fiennes, both of whom have shown that they're capable of better than this.
		Killing Me Softly is the kind of lurid melodrama that gives porno movies a good name.

	MovieMartyr.com - Killing Me Softly
		Killing Me Softly actually does a fair job in updating the Gothic romance novel for modern times and underlines the link between the two genres.
		The scenes that detail Alice’s insecurities or demonstrate her sexual growth are the most intriguing because they take the concerns that usually exist on the edges in the genre and present them in a head-on, unembarrassed manner.
		The exquisite lap dissolves, the sprinkling snowflakes and the softly lit surface of skin are the key visual touchstones here, and they keep the mood energized throughout.

	Killing Me Softly
		Film audiences have typically enjoyed movies where a drastic alteration in life style is forced upon a character.
		Since the film is told in a retrospective narrative by Alice the stage has been set to go noir, as it were.
		The novel difference here is in classic film noir the narrative is usually male, how the stunning femme fatale lead him down the road to ruin.

	MovieFreak.com - Killing Me Softly Review
		Killing Me Softly begins with superimposition of snow-covered mountains on the faces of Heather Graham and Joseph Fiennes making love.
		The plutonic themes of love and death are thus firmly set in a film about extremes –passion, obsession, violence, deception, mystery and murder.
		Boil it down, Killing Me Softly is about power and control within relationships whether given away, abused, or struggling to reclaim it from a position of helplessness.

		"Killing Me Softly" is not that Roberta Flack song Hugh Grant sang on stage in "About a Boy." It is the film version of thriller of the same name written by Nicci French (a pen name of husband-wife team Nicci Gerrard and Sean French).
		The film is always stylish, and the soundtrack is by Patrick Doyle even though his music (good itself) tends to hammer as if to instruct us what to feel.
		Killing Me Softly features Fiennes as a maybe-he's-a-creepy-rapist/maybe-he's-not kinda fellow, and Heather Graham is the woman who falls in love with him at first sight.Killing Me Softly opens a sensuous window into the highly erotic coupling and de-coupling literally and metaphorically of two most attractive individuals.

	DVD Review: Killing Me Softly
		The film's reason for being, it seems, are its sex scenes, which occur a few times throughout and are quite intense.
		"Killing Me Softly" moves along at a snail's pace, and it doesn't help that the ending twist is obvious from fairly early on.
		VIDEO: "Killing Me Softly" is presented by MGM/UA in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen and 1.33:1 full-frame on this dual-sided, single-layer DVD.

		However, there were plenty of moments in the film where I clearly felt that there had been overdubbing, especially when plumb English accents were called for.
		I'm sure you were suppose to take this film seriously, but I spent most of the time laughing at just how ludicrous it all was.
		I've no idea whether this film had a theatrical release, but it really did have the feel of a made for television sexual thriller which channel five would be aching to show.

	Killing Me Softly film review
		Killing Me Softly is, without doubt, the best comedy of the year.
		Unfortunately, Chen Kaige's debut English language film is supposed to be a tense erotic thriller.

	Scotland on Sunday - Review - Film: Killing Me Softly (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Based on a novel by the husband and wife team who write as Nicci French, it fails to generate any thrills or suspense and is so woodenly acted that its only future may lie as a source of endless, unintentional hilarity.
		The answers to some of these questions are revealed in a laughable knee-trembler where the energetic sex scenes carry no erotic charge and the plot appears to have been jotted down on the back of a fag packet.
		Killing Me Softly is now on general release.

		Schaut man diesen Film, vermisst man eine echte Geschichte, echte Charaktere und eigentlich ziemlich viel, was man aus anderer Filme gewÃ¶hnt ist.

	Killing Me Softly
		Continuing in a long history of oxymorons, the US military and law enforcement agencies are developing a new series of additions to their arsenal: nonlethal weapons, also called less-than-lethal, soft kill, and limited effects weaponry.
		Except if immobilizing agents are use in a dangerous environment, like riots or the middle of a battlefield (exactly the places they're designed for), or, let's say, a compound on fire being bombarded by tanks.
		If we use nonlethal technology to achieve paralysis, eliminate unintentional killing, and erase signs of visible destruction, then perhaps in some situations we can rid the news of sensationalism.

	Movie Review \| Killing Me Softly (2002) Heather Graham, Kaige Chen
		As in the reason why the film was never released theatrically in the States and will probably only see the spotlight in Asia and other places where having the comely Heather Graham show her breasts and engaging in passionate simulated sex is a major draw.
		Which means he constantly seizes Alice by the throat and jaw, tears at her clothes when he's in the mood, and smolders her with his body whenever he meets her.
		"Killing me Softly" is nothing more than a direct-to-cable erotic thriller; only it has a bigger budget and bigger stars, but still has the same lousy and predictable story and terrible acting.

	Reviews - Killing Me Softly
		This is acclaimed director Chen Kaige's first English-language film, and he directs this contemporary suspense thriller.
		Director Chen Kaige's first western film is not the same as rustic, wind-swept and emotionally simple Chinese films.
		It seems that the moment he starts working with a larger cast, and placing events in a modern city, his films lose their appeal.

	Killing Me Softly Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Whatever the case "Killing Me Softly" is a film to definitely see - not for the thrills it promises, but rather for the fact its the best unintentional comedy of the year after maybe "Glitter".
		That's not enough to compensate for a predictable and plot-hole filled script entirely lacking in originality, muddled direction, razzie award winning performances and so on (well I can say it is just a fraction of an inch better than "Sliver" but that's not hard).
		Nevertheless, if your in the mood for a bad film to have a good laugh to, and are keen to see either Heather or Joseph doing the rumpy-pumpy, then take a look and have fun.

	Killing Me Softly Film Review - Time Out Film
		A debased update of those films noirs in which an unsuspecting girl starts to wonder if she's carelessly married a murderous sadist.
		Inane and shopworn material with a truly cheesy final twist, this is made excruciating by direction that takes it all deadly seriously.
		The fact that Chen chose this for his first non-Chinese film suggests that (a) he really wanted to direct a sex scene or two, and (b) he can't tell a Mandarin duck from a turkey.

		This is the second Nicci french book i have read in the last 2 weeks, the first being catch me when i fall.
		I was engrosed at the begining of the book but as i read on became dissaponted as it seemed to be building up to something that ended up being nothing.

	Killing Me Softly
		You may remember director Chen Kaige from such critically acclaimed films as Farewell, My Concubine and Temptress Moon, which were both even-paced and well-developed.
		For some reason, Killing Me Softly doesn't live up to any of that.
		There are so many things wrong with this movie: no character motivation (for example, it's never clear why Heather Graham's character is attracted to Joseph Fiennes' character in the first place), little clue as to the "twist" at the end, and not-even-terribly-exciting sex scenes.

		Well I have to say that the acting, lighting, and all that other technical jargin means nothing to me. I was up late one night and Killing Me Softly came on so I watched it.
		And they tried to make it this sappy, "Love Story" ending, which really didn't work for me. I just kept wanting to play back the sex scenes and look at Joseph over and over again.
		Everyone should have the kind of passion in their love relationships that is portrayed in this film.
