Killing Season takes place in the Appalachian Mountains, in which a former Serbian soldier (played by John Travolta) seeks revenge on a former American soldier (played by Robert De Niro). It is a one on one battle between the two within the woods, using weapons such as bow and arrow, knives and eventually firearms. This sounds great for a thrilling cat and mouse chase but in the end, the film lets you down through its boring scenes, lacking motivation and each character receives injuries that they shrug off but which would have incapacitated them. It is hard to empathize with the two characters and so little happens that you'll soon find something else to distract yourself with. The film is short at 90 minutes long but that may be the longest 90 minutes you'll experience.
