With Time to Kill is a 1987 Australian film directed by James Clayden.[1] It screened at the 1987 Melbourne International Film Festival.[2]
It was filmed in 1985 and Clayden cut a ten minute trailer to try get presales to fund the films post production.[3][4]
Synopsis
[edit]Two cops decide to start assasinating known criminals.
Reception
[edit]Critic Adrian Martin wrote "With Time to Kill is not an easy or even particularly pleasurable film to watch, but it is a subversive oddity now lurking in many a video shop, and for that reason (at least) it demands a special footnote in Australian film history."[5] The Age's Buffs' choice column writes "Clayden's experiment is not entirely successful: it lacks Godardian joy in the game it's playing, and irony sometimes lapses into parody, due to flawed exposition of the story line and faltering performances. There is a leson here for all radical film-makers: you have to master the conventions before you can subvert them successfully."[6]
