Key opinion
Killers is widely regarded as a flawed and formulaic romantic action-comedy that struggles to successfully integrate its disparate genres. While some viewers find it an easy, mindless summer watch, many critics and audience members criticize the weak chemistry between the leads, the unconvincing portrayal of the killer persona, and the recycled plot tropes.

| Production | The cinematography and location choices, specifically the bright and aesthetic visuals of Nice, provide a polished look that stands out as a highlight. | |
| Originality | The film is consistently criticized for recycling tired tropes and relying on a predictable, unoriginal plot structure. | |
| Screenplay | The blend of action and comedy is executed poorly, failing to find a consistent tone or narrative cohesion. | |

| Acting | The romantic chemistry between Heigl and Kutcher divides audiences, with some finding them a charming pairing and others viewing their dynamic as lifeless and unconvincing. |
