Born Killers

John and Michael are taught by their father at a young age that people are merely piggy banks... if you need money, just break one open. Charming and brilliant, they roam the country robbing and murdering anyone foolish enough to get in the car with them. After their partnership becomes strained and John sets off on his own, he discovers his father had a secret family... another wife and a daughter in another state. With a renewed sense of purpose he sets out to find and kill his stepsister. But this may be more challenging than he thinks... has he met his match?

Directed by Morgan J. Freeman, Born Killers leans on a strong ensemble — Jake Muxworthy, Lauren German, Kelli Garner — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 2005.
