Killer Instinct sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t. There are a couple scenes that are tense and affecting, and other’s that are dripping with cheese. Sometimes it looks like a stylish gangster feature, and at others a cop show from the 70s. Vincent Cassel is predictably awesome all the way through, but the film’s score is ludicrously awful all the way through. It made me a film watching yo-yo.
