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..
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.
