Amazing film, a true nail-biter


And here I was, thinking the heist sequence from The Killers was one of the best ever filmed.
While that scene still stands tall, Kubrick's entire 85 minutes in The Killing is a masterful heist.
The characters, the ingenuity, the ending... It all works in my opinion.
(Although I did wish for a happy ending for John, I guess they couldn't show the criminal get away with their crime at that time)

Great, great film. Had to hold my breath during its final half hour.
