The Killing is a 1956 film noir produced by James B. Harris and directed by Stanley Kubrick.
Johnny Clay is a veteran criminal planning one last heist before settling down and marrying Fay . He plans to rob two million dollars from the money counting room of a racetrack during a featured race. He assembles a team consisting of a corrupt cop , a betting window teller to give access to the backroom, a sharpshooter to shoot the favorite horse during the race to distract the crowd, a wrestler to provide another distraction by provoking a fight at the track bar and a track bartender.
The Killing was Kubrick's first full-length feature film shot with a professional cast and crew. The story is told using a non-linear narrative, an unusual device for 1950s American cinema, and was imitated nearly 40 years later in the film Reservoir Dogs. Director Quentin Tarantino acknowledged Kubrick's film as a major influence, even referring to Reservoir Dogs as "my Killing". The Killing followed many of the conventions of film noir, in both its plotting and cinematography style. The genre peaked in the 1940s, but many critics regard this film as one of its best. While it was not a financial success, it received good reviews.
I think the ending scene is one of my best!!
