Editorial Reviews

Synopsis Ernest Hemingway´s short story THE KILLERS was turned into two memorable films noir at the beginning and the end of the high period of the genre. The original 1946, directed by Robert Siodmak, version stars Burt Lancaster as "the Swede," an aging boxer who is brought in on for an underground job. The 1964 Don Siegel version stars Lee Marvin and Clu Gulager as a pari of gunmen scouring a seedy underworld..

3.0 out of 5 stars "Lady, I Don't Have the Time", March 24, 2009

Scott T. Rivers (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)   
Deemed too violent for television and released to theaters, this is a surprisingly good reworking of the Ernest Hemingway short story. Guided by Don Siegel's expert direction, "The Killers" (1964) takes fatalistic noir to its logical end. Lee Marvin, John Cassavetes and Clu Gulager deliver memorable portrayals, but the big surprise remains Ronald Reagan as a brutal crime boss who slaps around Angie Dickinson. Oddly enough, it was the future president's final acting gig and his only villainous role. Marvin's closing line is priceless.

5.0 out of 5 stars Crime Doesn't Pay !, July 18, 1999
Ronald Reagan's last movie is a forgotten classic. Reagan is pitted against bad - guy hit man Lee Marvin in a classic caper movie. Angie Dickenson smolders up the screen in this 60's adaptation of an Ernest Hemingway story. John Cassavetes character as a washed up race car driver provides the irony when he gets mixed up with Reagan's armored car heist scheme. Clu Gallagher and Claude Akins support in Dirty Harry Director's Don Siegel's best, but underappreciated, effort.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just a great movie, if you like suspence., August 10, 1999
By A Customer
From the start to the end you can't get Lee in a better movie that was made for him. It's a must see for movie buffs.
