One of the first works of visionary Stanley Kubrick, The Killing is everything that made him famous: aesthetically interesting, subdued, and stylized. While his later works such as Eyes Wide Shut are a bit too overthought for John DiLeo’s taste, this film captures the genius of Kubrick in its clean following of Johnny Clay’s plan to plunder two million dollars from a racetrack after being released from Alcatraz. In Screen Savers, one can see why this film deserves the attention of Kubrick fans just as much as, and perhaps more than, some of his better-known works.
