Killers, the new comedy-actioner, continues the downward path of director Robert Luketic, who last made the awful comedy, The Ugly Truth, which was dismissed by most critics but made money at the box-office.

This is the second teaming of helmer Luketic and actress Katherine Heigl, who was the star of his last picture. But you wonder why are they so eager to work together? Neither serves or elevates the career of the other.
Heigl had left the popular TV show “Grey’s Anatomy” to embark on a more successful big-screen career, one that will offer her more “substantial” roles.
However, with a few exceptions (Judd Apatow’s “Knocked-Up”), she has made mostly disappointing and silly pictures (“27 Dresses” anyone?). Ditto for the naturally appealing Ashton Kutcher, who seems unable to find suitable vehicles to serve well his limited but visible talents.
