Kubrick's "The Killing"
Posted by mishmashmusic on May 20, 2007 at 19:05:17:
Saw this one for the first time a few days ago (TCM again) --- great robbery/murder thriller from Kubrick, one of his lesser known films (relatively speaking). It's a noir-styled story from the 50s, along on the lines of a B-movie from that era.
A gang of shady criminals knock of a racetrack, and the narrative follows each participant's story respectively, in an out-of-sequence fashion. Easy to see where Tarrantino got his inspiration for broken-up story-telling, especially for "Jackie Brown".
Highly recommended as a popcorn thriller if you're in a B-movie mood.
