What Parents Need to Know
This review of The Kill Point was written by Sierra Filucci
Parents need to know that this action drama revolves around a bank heist and hostage negotiations between cops and criminals. Both groups are heavily armed, and several gun battles occur (leading to several injuries and at least one gunshot death). In one particularly graphic scene, a man performs a makeshift tracheotomy on an injured woman with a pen, and lots of blood oozes around the wound. A couple sneaks into a closet to fool around and viewers see clothes coming off, including a brief close-up of the woman's bra; the camera also catches regular glimpses of other women's cleavage. Language is harsh for basic cable, including "s--t" and ass; sexual and scatological repartee also crops up.
Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the end justifying the means. What does that phrase mean? Is it ever OK to kill or steal? In the face of injustice, when all legal means for resolution have failed, what options do people have? Do you think this series presents a realistic picture of how a hostage negotiation might work? Situations like this are often exaggerated in TV shows and movies -- why? Is the reality any less terrifying?

What’s the Story?
Is It Any Good?
Fans of thrillers and action flicks will enjoy the show's cinematic "look," as well as the fact that it tackles a topical political issue and that the cast includes some good character actors. But lots of violence makes The Kill Point best for mature teens and adults.

Great Message
The pilot was quick paced and moving. The message is loud and clear. I think that we need more movies with a political message. It creates conversation.

On the edge of your seat wanting to find out what happens
I love the show. It keeps you right on the edge of your seat to find out what's next. I feel sorry for the robbers, especially Wolf. He's been through a lot. He really does care about the hostages, but at the same time, he knows what he has to do if necessary, so you really wonder if he would have killed the older gentleman. I saw relief in his face when he didn't have to. He seems very angry and upset at what has happened to his life now that he's served 15 years for his country and he feels betrayed. The negotiator is in a hard spot when he knows exactly what will happen. The other man in charge is an idot to have sent in the team, ending in someone being shot.
