What The Kill Room Trailer Reveals About The Movie

While The Kill Room and Pulp Fiction are clearly very different movies, the latest trailer suggests that they may actually have something in common. In terms of tone, Paone’s upcoming thriller clearly has splashes of dark comedy, something that Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction had as well. As far as characters are concerned, however, Jackson and Thurman are playing very different roles from Jules and Mia.

Jackson plays Gordon in the movie, the handler to Manganiello’s Reggie, a hitman. In an effort to clean the cash generated from Reggie’s hits, Gordon turns to Thurman’s character, Patrice, an art dealer with a cashflow problem. Together, they launch a money-laundering scheme, with Reggie providing the artwork under the pseudonym “The Bagman”. Reggie’s very terrible paintings quickly become an object of fascination in the art world, however, and Reggie’s new high profile starts to have repercussions on his criminal connections.

The Killer Room cast also includes Maya Hawke, Thurman’s daughter, in their first onscreen collaboration. The rest of the supporting cast shown off in the trailer includes Matthew Maher, Debi Mazar, Mike Doyle, Larry Pine, Marianne Rendón, and Jennifer Kim, among others. While Pulp Fiction certainly sets a high bar, The Kill Room‘s reunion of two such talented stars makes the movie an exciting prospect.
