Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

grantss A washed-up boxer, Davey Gordon, falls in love with his neighbour, Gloria Price, a dancer. They plan to leave town but unfortunately, her boss is infatuated with her and is determined that she not leave. He is not above using violence to achieve his aims and Gloria and Davey's lives are soon in danger.Stanley Kubrick's second movie (the first being the unacclaimed "Fear and Desire" of 1953). Written, directed, produced and edited by him, this is a movie of a man still learning the ropes. It's also the movie of a man without fame enough to get a decent budget. The fact that he has so many credits in this movie, especially producer, shows how he had to make do. The lack of a name actor/actress in the cast also shows this, and, to an extent, hurts the movie.Plot is decent, though quite basic. Seems pretty conventional but Kubrick ramps up the action and suspense towards the end, making it a fairly rewarding story in the end. Performances are the weakest aspect, largely due, as mentioned, to the no-name actors. Some pretty hammy performances, though, thankfully, the dialogue is quite limited.What prevents this from being just your average B-grade drama, and probably what ensured that Kubrick still had a career in film, is the cinematography. This is where you can see Kubrick's genius for film (his background was in photography, so not a surprise). Kubrick's camera work carries the movie.Was torn between giving a 6 or a 7. Went with a 7 in the end - the last few scenes kicked it up a notch.

ofpsmith This is Stanley Kubrick's second film, and it's significantly better then Fear and Desire, his first film. The plot revolves around Davey Gordon (Jamie Smith) a struggling boxer who meets Gloria Price (Irene Kane) when he saves her from gangster Vincent Rapallo (Frank Silvera). As Davey and Gloria's relationship blossoms, Rapallo gets angry and set's out for revenge. The film shows us these two struggling people and how they are both looking for better lives. The cinematography of this movie is excellent. If you've seen some of Kubrick's photos of New York when he was working for Look magazine, you'll see a lot of that imagery here. The film starts out slowly but escalates faster and faster as it goes. Killer's Kiss is a top notch film noir and it really works. I recommend it.

clearwinner This movie seems way ahead of its times just due to its cinematic pleasure. The protagonist narrates the story that had happened to him in the past few days and it seems like he is recalling all those events which make it very genuine. There is a boxing match, a fight between the lead lady and villain and then the hero takes on the charge trying to rescue the girl.There is a good turn of events in these parts but all these have become so very clichéd that just does not interest you but on the better side you can view it as how those scenes were shot and then you could appreciate something. I particularly loved the roof top shot when the hero runs over the connected roofs and final clash between the hero and the villain, there was something to it. It was humorous as well as satisfying. So this movie seems to be for those students studying film direction, and it is only this part the movie gives something and that too quality stuff considering the genre. Apart from that there is nothing in the movie, simple plot, some good cinematography, good direction but plot is too weak for you to like the movie.

wiseguymattt Irene Kane is gorgeous! What a performance. Although, she had her awkward moments in which I felt the behavior didn't match the mood which caused me to become less engaged. Jamie Smith played his role really well and sure intimidated me. Let's just say you wouldn't want to be the guy between him and his gal. And I learned that Frank Silvera has been cast as a white character before due to the inability to really take notice when shooting in black and white. His performance was also really good. I began HATING his character because of how pathetic he made himself out to be at times. But, that was his character and eventually things took different turns that revealed more about his character than you first imagine. I'll leave that to the viewer to find out. Overall, the story is intriguing. It was a well done film for its time. You can see a dramatic improvement in quality over Kubrick's previous film especially in the acting and sound.
