Kill Your Friends (2016)
TOMATOMETER
AUDIENCE SCORE
Critic Consensus: Kill Your Friends takes futile stabs at black comedy, all strangled by a glut of tonal jumbles, bad casting, and unremittingly unlikable characters.

Critic Reviews for Kill Your Friends
All Critics (57) | Top Critics (9) | Fresh (14) | Rotten (43) | DVD (1)
Everyone is horrible all the time-so when they do horrible things to each other, the result is a chuckle rather than a vicious bite. The music business is cutthroat, we get it.
"Kill Your Friends" goes to some ugly places, but it keeps a sturdy sense of rhythm.
Watching "Kill Your Friends" unfold is not dissimilar to being at a party where someone's clever one-liner lulls you into a conversation that reveals a bitterly immature, dismissively one-note lout, after which you're trapped.
Anchoring the pungent 1990s ambience is Mr. Hoult, easily oozing cool charisma.
Though the script is full of arch, darkly funny observations, the movie gets stuck on the same clanging chord of all-hating cynicism.
A more disagreeable collection of cynical, backstabbing, self-aggrandizing, shallow, vicious and vile specimens of humanity gathered together in a single motion picture would be difficult to conceive of.
Audience Reviews for Kill Your Friends
Badly written and filled with hateful characters, it's a juvenile facsimile of American Psycho.
Super Reviewer
All bark, no bite.
Super Reviewer
A nasty individual does the classic bad guy monologuing ... for the length of the film. It's about the cutthroat record business in London (ha ha). Starts cleverly enough but loses steam in the middle. There's a girl band send-up that could've been milked more.

Kill Your Friends Quotes
| Stelfox: | In every age men are born, who, in their heart in the black of their blood are warriors. But for most of us there are no longer wars to fight. What must they do? These men? |
| Stelfox: | Power comes and the unrelentless chase for the unattainable. |
| Stelfox: | At some point in the coming year one of us will be fired. I have no intention on it being me. |
| Stelfox: | Imagine you are standing on wafer thin ice. Beneath your feet you can see sharks, circling. These are your colleagues, your friends. Welcome to the music industry. |
