If you like your thrillers pitch black, intense and with just the right amount of überviolence, then “Killers“ - the sophomore feature of the hotly tipped Mo Brothers - should be right up your alley, as the first and rather red band trailer easily proves. “Killers“ will be screened at Sundance next January.

“Mr. Nomura is an eerily handsome, sharply dressed, sociopathic serial killer who preys on the women of Tokyo. In Jakarta, a world-weary journalist named Bayu finds himself unexpectedly falling into vigilantism after brutally killing two sadistic robbers. When each posts videos of their violent sprees online, the pair find one another on the Internet and begin a toxic and competitive duel. While Bayu clings to the hope that he can resume a normal life, Nomura continues to spill blood without remorse. Killing, advises Nomura, is something everyone ought to consider.“
