It's not a perfect film and it's not a piece of cinematic refuse, but Killers is able to find happiness in the middle, and for a glossy studio picture in the beginning of a very disappointing summer, it's not the worst way to spend 100 minutes.

If you count the number of hairstyles Katherine Heigl wears in this dreary romcom-with-guns, the tally is likely to be four or five. Ashton Kutcher's facial expressions, one. His shirtless scenes, two. Her scenes in a bra (but never topless!), three. Sex scenes, zero.

Hoping for something swift and painless is one thing if you're the target of an assassination. It's a futile wish, though, when you're subjected to the death that is the Ashton Kutcher- Katherine Heigl vehicle Killers.

Bullets fly and jokes land with a thud in Killers, a deadly dull hubby's-a-hit man farce that alternately resembles a knockoff of 2005's Mr. and Mrs. Smith and a rehash of Knight & Day avant la lettre (before it's even been released).
