Reaction: After a couple of box office duds last season, I'm sure writer Alex Conn will settle for a small $1 million profit on this one. On the studio side, we're certainly more happy with a small profit than any loss.

"It's hard to say anything new for the film. The film is just too cliche, a crazy cult making crazy action. The film jumps all over the place and plot holes are everywhere. Jim Carrey, even though he is a great actor in serious film, but here, he is just another one dimension villain with drugs" - Ted Milo, Hollywood Reporter

"Thrill of the Kill is absolutely preposterous. The film doesn't make a lick of sense. Alex Wolff is absolutely bland as the lead and nothing he does seems remotely logical. BUT, I have to say I had some fun with the film. I'm giving it a mildly positive review, but it is not exactly a good film - more of a 'so bad it's good' film. Jim Carrey chews the scenery and the story is never boring. Make a drinking game and have a party with this one, you won't regret it until the next morning when the hangover kicks in." - Robert Avery, San Jose Mercury

"It looked like Alex Conn was on the right track for a moment, now he's back to square one thanks to the failures of Tough Girl, Blue is the Warmest Color and now Thrill of the Kill. I mince no words when I say this is one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time. It's bad enough that Jim Carrey had to be roped into this (and the fact that he didn't even fit the role, to begin with), but the story is so rushed and so haphazard pulling out plot points and characters out of who knows where and it features a lot of the same beats almost every other Alex Conn film has." - Mitchell Parker, New York Times
