A good suburban girl falls in love with the perfect man, who just happens to be an ex-assassin for the CIA. Life is sublime in the suburban bubble until it turns deadly when Spencer’s (Ashton Kutcher) past catches up with him. Too bad for the viewer on all fronts with Killers because the movie has no redeeming qualities. Unless you count seeing Kutcher without his shirt on or Heigl walking around the house in a bra – for no apparent reason I may add.
