even bad kubrick is better than anything else if you're catching my drift
mariaDec 3, 2021Kubrick hits the streets of NY with seemingly no script and no money and still comes out with something that'd probably be most other filmmakers' best-looking movie.
Josh LewisMar 21, 2023Action! - Three Auteurs: Stan and the Thousand Ku(t)bricks Kubrick appears to have had a strong interest in cinema noir at this stage in his career. Some of these themes can be found in his first picture as well, but they really shine here. Unquestionably superior than…
Rafael "Mister Movie" Jovine - Jul 8, 2014
An underrated film-noir that turned out to be far more engaging than expected, Killer's Kiss is no masterpiece in my opinion but it did serve its purpose well as a warm up exercise for director Stanley Kubrick's talents before he started churning out one masterpiece after…

Stanley Kubrick's second feature length film is a poorhouse Noir effort. The film is much more interesting as a precursor to a brilliant film career than it is a great film in its own right. The plot is fairly standard stuff - a story of a boxer who gets himself into…

i’m binging kubrick; as bare-bones as it is, genuinely such an impressive early film with excellent visuals and performances. the camera-work and general attention to detail is astounding and works with a narrative that doesn’t overstay its welcome. an entertaining noir thriller
manny bobanny likedKiller's KissA great love story and a suspenseful thriller - not overly crazy, but enough to be exciting. Very well shot. Kubrick certainly has an eye. And what a performance from Frank Silvera!
Justin likedKiller's KissThis was a pretty decent film overall but I feel like it’s kinda forgettable, especially compared to anything else by Kubrick that I’ve seen.
