Negative Positive
Title: Good direction, bad plot.
Review: Flashy camera work does not make a good movie. This was never more evident than in Avary's "Killing Zoe." The director is obviously a talented director. As a writer, however, he ignores key elements such as character developement, plot twists, and the most important element in any hiest film: the element of surprise. Despite one scene involving an explosion, "Killing Zoe" is frequently predictable and plain dull. If you want to see a good caper movie check out Tarantino's "Resevoir Dogs" or Kubrick's "The Killing."
