This drugged-out, blood-soaked caper flick directed by Pulp Fiction screenwriter Roger Avary stars Eric Stoltz as an American safecracker who travels to Paris to help an old friend rob a bank. Don't expect Swiss-watch precision here. This ragtag team of felons may have big dreams, but they aren't particularly bright: They spend the night before a big Bastille Day heist pumping one another full of as many drugs as they can get their hands on during a whirlwind tour of underground Paris nightlife. The exceedingly scruffy Jean-Hugues Anglade plays the team's ringleader, a Frenchman with a death wish, and Stoltz is suitably dazed throughout, never quite willing to face what he's gotten himself into. The ethereal Julie Delpy costars as the eponymous Zoe, a hooker Stoltz meets on his first night in Paris. The influence of Quentin Tarantino, who's credited as one of the film's executive producers is very much in evidence; violent, hip, and hyperkinetic, Killing Zoe is tailor-made for Tarantino fans.
