An adept safe-cracker, Zed (Eric Stoltz) arrives in Paris for his latest gig: a bank robbery organized by his old friend Eric (Jean-Hugues Anglade). On his first night in town, he spends time with a call girl, Zoe (Julie Delpy), only to be interrupted by Eric, who informs him that the heist is happening the next day. Zed is surprised but goes along, and is soon sorry he did. The job spirals into a bloody fiasco, the police surround the bank, and Zoe turns out to be one of the tellers.

Killing Zoe

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Senselessly violent and mean-spirited, Killing Zoe fails to deliver a much needed cleverness to back up its hyper-stylized flourishes.

It sweeps you up in Eric's Dionysian revelry and, like Zed, you'll be clambering for a shower afterwards. Go to Full Review Rob Gonsalves Rob's Movie Vault 08/04/2007

An ultra-violent but vapid crime caper that owes as much to Tarantino as to film noir, both American and French. Go to Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com 10/05/2006

Film F @RT63825114 Oct 6 An under appreciated film for proper movie lovers. For your average movie goer they may find some of the stylistic choices a little much. But this is a fantastic story, with some brilliant characters and performances. Wether the problem is its style, the fact it’s set in France, or wether it just got lost amongst the great gangster / Tarantino films around at the time I’m not sure. But this is pure entertainment, and if you’re struggling through the first half of the movie, give the second half a chance and it may just win you over.

While far from perfect, and with a very loose script, the characters hold it together well, and the two leads put in fine performances.
