The Killing Ratings & Reviews

Little too much dame drama in the first half imo Casting this guy in Dr. Strangelove was perfectly brilliant. Watched on an iPad on the way home from a Joe Pera show

This is some of those crime thriller stories that gets remake after ramake. Maybe it is Kubrick, maybe it is the story itself but The Killing sets foot on the pedestal where Hitchcock has left. A gem.

Cleverly arranged. Of all the details I find it a little thin and almost funny how it goes south. Don't know that it needed the narrator.

An intelligent heist film with lots of fun twists and turns to make the story more enjoyable.
