Killing Season is an action/thriller directed by Mark Steven Johnson (Ghost Rider) which stars Robert De Niro, John Travolta and Milo Ventimiglia. It follows two veterans of the Bosnian War, an American named Benjamin (De Niro) and a Serbian named Emil (Travolta). After Emil helps Benjamin out with some car trouble, he is invited back to Benjamin's cabin in the woods for drinks to say 'thanks'. The friendship however turns stale after one of them reveals their true intentions, and it quickly becomes a case of 'cat and mouse'. Robert De Niro is one of my favourite actors of all time, so it was great to see him back in a more serious role compared to the light and fluffy films he has become accustom to in his later years. Travolta's transformation into a Serbian is partially convincing due to his dark complexion and the thick beard he has grown for the role, but his accent seems a little shaky at times. While this isn't an amazing film and it has received some fairly negative reviews due to its inaccuracies in relation to the Bosnian War, I think its main intentions were to focus on the duel between both men and how the war has effected each man's personal life. I thought it was entertaining enough, but probably won't watch it again anytime soon.
