Indeed, the opening scene in which Marvin and Gulager &#8220;rub out John Cassavetes, who works as an instructor for the blind&#8221; is almost shockingly sadistic, as they terrorize numerous blind individuals while cold-bloodedly carrying out their task.  It&#8217;s been rightfully noted that Marvin and Gulager &#8212; who are &#8220;really bastards&#8221; &#8212; are prototypical Tarantino-esque hitmen; you&#8217;ll likely think of John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson in <em>Pulp Fiction<\/em> (1994) while watching their banter. <\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, the flashback format of the screenplay works better than expected: despite knowing from the outset that Cassavetes will be killed, we remain curious (like Marvin and Gulager) to know why he&#8217;s so non-resistant to being assassinated. Dickinson, meanwhile, makes a perfect femme fatale: she&#8217;s beautiful, thrill-seeking, loving, and deceptive like nobody&#8217;s business. As Peary notes, Ronald Reagan (in his final role before becoming governor of California) &#8220;is particularly stiff&#8221;, and didn&#8217;t really deserve the excellent reviews he received; as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dvdtalk.com\/dvdsavant\/s4433kill.html\">DVD Savant writes<\/a>, he plays &#8220;a one-dimensional heavy with no redeeming qualities&#8221; and &#8220;is as rigid as a washboard&#8221;. He was much better in <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=27202\"><em>Kings Row<\/em> (1942)<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Killers-1964-Reagan.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Killers-1964-Reagan.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"492\" height=\"386\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-59204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Killers-1964-Reagan.png 492w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Killers-1964-Reagan-300x235.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Killers-1964-Reagan-128x100.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Killers-1964-Reagan-344x270.png 344w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 492px) 100vw, 492px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The unnerving opening sequence<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Killers-1964-Opening.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Killers-1964-Opening.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"492\" height=\"386\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Killers-1964-Opening.png 492w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Killers-1964-Opening-128x100.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Killers-1964-Opening-300x235.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 492px) 100vw, 492px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Top-notch direction<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Killers-1964-Direction.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Killers-1964-Direction.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"386\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37228\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Killers-1964-Direction.png 480w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Killers-1964-Direction-128x103.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Killers-1964-Direction-300x241.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Killers-1964-Direction2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Killers-1964-Direction2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"492\" height=\"386\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Killers-1964-Direction2.png 492w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Killers-1964-Direction2-128x100.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Killers-1964-Direction2-300x235.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 492px) 100vw, 492px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Fine performances<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Killers-1964-Performances.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Killers-1964-Performances.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"492\" height=\"386\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Killers-1964-Performances.png 492w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Killers-1964-Performances-128x100.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Killers-1964-Performances-300x235.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 492px) 100vw, 492px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See?
