Box Office Gold!!
16 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Any film starring Hollywood Behomeths Barbie Castro and Patrick Muldoon is usually a guarantee of 'Box Office Gold' and because both of these hugely talented thespians feature heavily in this cinematic smorgasbord, the discerning movie goer will be both entertained and exhilirated in equal measure!

I won't regurgitate the plot lest I ruin your viewing pleasure but needless to say, murderous mayhem ensues throughout. Mr Muldoon is an actor of undoubted talent but his portrayal of Derek, a very troubled soul who has serious OCD issues, should have garnered an Oscar at the very least. Barbie Castro never disappoints and again she pulls off the challenging role of Blaire with aplomb.

Victoria Pratt is outstanding in the leading role and it is to be hoped that we will see her in similar future celluloid classics.

Especial mention must go to Mike Benitez who plays the role of 'an overweight man.' He is an upcoming actor of undoubted talent but his role in this magical movie was far too short to showcase his obvious credentials so it is to be hoped that he will secure equally or more demanding roles in the future.

It was nice to Wil J Jackson getting to flex his acting muscles and his portrayal of a security guard will undoubtedly garner praise from the discerning critics and the viewing public alike.

The same could be said about Torey Adkins as 'The Manager'. Judging by his colossal performance in this masterpiece, he will soon be a household name and will be held in the same regard as the likes of Hoffman, Brando and Hanks.

A clever and involving plot keeps the viewer guessing until the credits roll and, coupled with a dramatic score and outstanding cinematography, 'Patient Killer' delivers in spadefuls and leaves the discerning cinema goer wanting much more. Hopefully a much anticipated sequel is already in the offing and an apt title for this could be 'Patient Killer 2-Deadly Derek Returns.'

Ultimately, this marvellous movie should act as a warning to all attractive female psychiatrists to beware unhinged patients with alarming levels of OCD and who go by the name of Derek and for attractive middle aged ladies the world over to avoid eating copious amounts of cheese before going to bed lest they have nasty nightmares.

A rollicking roller-coaster of a movie and thoroughly recommended!
