Movie Info

Take a compelling look at the point where religious fanaticism gives way to murderous intent as politically minded filmmaker Pierre Rehov explores the mind and motivations of the contemporary Middle Eastern suicide bomber. Though interviews with both the families of successful suicide bombers and would-be suicide bombers who attempts to achieve martyrdom were somehow thwarted, Rehov probes his subjects to get answers that are often as surprising as they are shocking. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Unrated, 1 hr. 20 min.

The film's topic is of such timely importance that any illumination of the subject is to be welcomed, and there are enough insightful comments delivered by the pundits and subjects on display here to give the film at least some interest.

Pierre Rehov's haphazard inquiry into suicide bombing spends much of its brief running time replacing analysis with a litany of bummers.

...Left me knowing a lot of what, but not enough how and why. However, it is worth viewing for the incredible obtained footage alone.

The movie feels like it abruptly ends, long after we've been worn out by it.

Audience Reviews for Suicide Killers

It's about time we get the other side of the story. I am not condoning their method of carrying out a war because that's all a suicide bomber is, "a poor man's bomb". They are fighting a war, right? OK, so watch this documentary as if you were watching a History Channel special on WWII. There's a lot of information in
