With Time to Kill is a 1987 Australian film directed by James Clayden.[1] It screened at the 1987 Melbourne International Film Festival.[2]

It was filmed in 1985 and Clayden cut a ten minute trailer to try get presales to fund the films post production.[3][4]

Synopsis

Two cops decide to start assasinating known criminals.

Reception

Critic Adrian Martin wrote "With Time to Kill is not an easy or even particularly pleasurable film to watch, but it is a subversive oddity now lurking in many a video shop, and for that reason (at least) it demands a special footnote in Australian film history."[5] The Age's Buffs' choice column writes "Clayden's experiment is not entirely successful: it lacks Godardian joy in the game it's playing, and irony sometimes lapses into parody, due to flawed exposition of the story line and faltering performances. There is a leson here for all radical film-makers: you have to master the conventions before you can subvert them successfully."[6]
