Review of The Killing (1956) by Irvin C — 21 Nov 2009
This is one of Stanley Kubrick's early features (all I need to do now is see "Fear and Desire" and I've seen all the features already). A group of crooks led by Sterling Hayden come up with a very intricate, complex heist on a racetrack.
Of course, things go wrong. Although it isn't quite as great as Kubrick's later masterpieces, it still holds up as an exciting piece of filmmaking and I do believe Kubrick's streak of great films actually started here.
