The Killers

One of Tarantino's favorite classics. It's not too surprising, considering the level of cheese present here. And sure enough, it gives the film a bit of extra charm, if you like US classics that is. You may expect big hairdos, burly men, and funky car rides (with ultra-fake projections of course).

Two contract killers get a new hit assigned to them. It's a smooth job, but maybe a little too smooth. Their hit didn't even try to run away when they showed up to kill him. They get suspicious and decide to dig a little deeper. Their investigation gets them to Sheila and Jack, two dangerous people.

I was happy to see this film was in color, even when the colors were pretty kitsch. The characters and plot are cheesy, but Siegel leans into it, which amps up the entertainment level. There are some fun car chases too, other than that, I didn't get a whole lot out of this film, but at least it was never boring.
