Zazie Beetz Shines in High-Octane Action Horror Comedy "They Will Kill You" Zazie Beetz delivers a standout performance as Asia Reaves in Kirill Sokolov’s action horror comedy They Will Kill You, a film that blends maximalist stunts, dark humor, and relentless violence. The movie, released by New Line Cinema and Warner Bros., follows Asia, a woman thrust into a deadly situation after her younger sister is kidnapped. With no formal training, Asia becomes a relentless force, navigating a Satanic cult that has taken over a high-rise apartment complex. Beetz’s physicality and determination anchor the film, transforming it into a chaotic yet thrilling spectacle. The story opens with Asia’s abrupt incarceration due to a domestic crisis, setting her on a path to rescue her sister, Maria. She lands a job as a maid at The Virgil, a luxury high-rise managed by Lily (Patricia Arquette). What begins as a straightforward assignment quickly spirals into a battle against a cult that views Asia as their next sacrifice. Sokolov’s script, co-written with Alex Litvak, leans into absurdity and action, with Beetz constantly in motion, engaging in brutal combat sequences that range from barefoot fights to stylized choreography inspired by spaghetti westerns, anime, and samurai films. The film’s visual design, crafted by Production Designer Jeremy Reed, offers a tongue-in-cheek take on the Nine Circles of Hell, reimagined as a decaying high-rise. While the worldbuilding is surface-level, it adds a surreal tone to the proceedings. However, the focus on action overshadows deeper exploration of the setting, leaving the cult’s motives and the characters’ backstories underdeveloped. Despite this, the film’s energy remains infectious, with Beetz’s performance as a central driving force.#warner_bros #patricia_arquette #zazie_beetz #kirill_sokolov #new_line_cinema
