Franc Roddam recommended The Killing (1956) in Movies (curated)

 
The Killing (1956)
The Killing (1956)
1956 | Crime, Drama, Film-Noir

"I loved this film before I knew who Stanley Kubrick was. Sterling Hayden’s portrayal of the ill-fated criminal is majestic and psychopathic. The mechanics of the heist are brilliant, but Kubrick lets us see how it’s only the flaws in the characters that bring it down."

Sadly I just don't think this book was for me. I was expecting a sci-fi mystery slice of life about a women living with the inability for people to form memories about her. Instead I got a jewel heist espionage book with a some neat main character.

This was one of the best movies in Phase II of the MCU. Heist movies are some of my favorites, so I dug that aspect. Paul Rudd was great and Michael Pena was so hilarious. Can I make a petition to get Pena into every MCU movie?

I thought this was a pretty decent light hearted, sexy, crime thriller. More of a heist film to be honest. it's fun seeing how they did it, if the cops can figure it out and if he can get away with it. Strong cast and a well put together film overall.

A good film that is closer to the first one than the sequel in setting, which is a good thing! A very elaborate heist plan again as they look to take revenge on a new Casino boss in Las Vegas. Good fun but doesn't quite have the Razmatazz of the first!

Better than the previous one
Much better than the last one. The story is interesting, a great heist plan as we saw in the first movie, and it is great to see how much characters in this one care for each other. It was a delightful film to watch.
