The Killers Reviews

I usually dig old noir films, but this one didn't have a good grasp on me. The story told in reverse of Burt Lancaster's character is interesting, but the characters themselves didn't really keep me invested in the story. It's enough for me to like the film but not standout.

Ava Gardner plays the fem fatale so well in this with the way she deceives everyone. Lancaster is great too as he portrays a man who loses his livelihood and turns to crime only for his past to come back. The score is great and overall a great movie. One of my favorite thrillers.

Top shelf noir. The opening is terrific.

ava gardner was too pretty for all of them smh

Ok Ava Gardner is so iconic, I found it funny that the insurance investigator really did more than the police did as far as getting to the bottom of the murder, but it had a lot of funny moments and it turned out to be really good!
