Stanley Kubrick's account of an ambitious racetrack robbery is one of Hollywood's tautest, twistiest noirs. Aided by a radically time-shuffling narrative, razor-sharp dialogue from pulp novelist Jim Thompson, and a phenomenal cast of character actors, including Sterling Hayden (DR. STRANGELOVE), Coleen Gray (RED RIVER), Timothy Carey (PATHS OF GLORY), and Elisha Cook Jr.. (THE MALTESE FALCON), THE KILLING is both a jaunty thriller and a cold-blooded punch to the gut. And with it's precise tracking shots and gratifying sense of irony, it's Kubrick to the core.

And with it's precise tracking shots and gratifying sense of irony, it's Kubrick to the core.

The final film from director Stanley Kubrick is an eerily detached exploration of eroticism and obsession, based on the 1926 German novella InchDream StoryInch by Arthur Schnitzler. An argument on fidelity with his wife Alice (Nicole Kidman) sends Dr. Bill Harford (Tom Cruise) wandering into the Manhattan streets and into a variety of sexually-charged scenarios, culminating in a visit to a secret, upper-class orgy that could have dangerous consequences. Sydney Pollack, Todd Field, Marie Richardson, Alan Cumming also star. 159 min.
