enjoyable movie that wasn't quite for me

You're killing me is a well done, enjoyable movie that wasn't quite for me. The intro was a bit clunky, but as soon as the plot got going the movie really starts to shine. The plot is straight forward with enjoyable action and well done stakes. The characters each feel distinct and real with discernible motivations. My greatest gripe is with the manner of a characters death. The Jock (I don't recall her name) falls and land on a pair of gardening scissors, leading her to bleed out and die. While I do think her death was necessary for the story and lead to some very good character moments later on, for such an uptight, rich family to just leave something laying around felt out of character and a little too unexpected. Other than that all the action flowed nicely. I found it more stressful than thrilling personally because of the large focus on the helplessness of the main character as a week teenage girl, which felt a little too personal and real, once again fueling my need to take up boxing and take my German shepherd everywhere w/ me. So tw for that.
