Review of The Killers (1946) by D M — 04 Nov 2015
#noirvember.
The movie opens with two hired guns killing an ex-boxer. The boxer (Swede) had only lived in town for a year or so, and no one knew his past. A life insurance investigator starts digging in order to figure out why the payment was to a seemingly random person. Swede's history is told through a series of flashbacks which show his downfall after suffering a career-ending injury. He soon joins with some small-time criminals who look to make it big with a payroll robbery. Of course, the love of his life (the gorgeous Ava Gardner - she's stunningly beautiful in the scene she's pleading with her dying husband) is duplicitous, aiding in his eventual death.
