Allan C @RT15713161 Jun 24, 2026 The wildest of all the classic film noirs Kiss Me Deadly (1955) ***** Still a masterpiece, Kiss Me Deadly works brilliantly as both a hard-boiled noir and a wildly influential film that helped reshape the future of cinema. Director Robert Aldrich brings striking style and energy to every frame, while Ralph Meeker delivers the definitive screen version of Mike Hammer, a swaggering, ruthless antihero at the center of one of the sharpest and most unforgettable detective stories ever filmed. See more Ernie K @ErnieK Nov 24, 2024 Quintessential, dark, brooding, surprising noir, featuring a dynamite performance by Ralph Meeker as Mike Hammer as he portrays a man of intuition, violence, desire, and even occasional compassion. As hardboiled as they come, he also wishes to help a woman in great distress, and in the process there are dizzying twists and turns. A mid-50's watch that will still satisfying the noir fan - as well as anyone appreciating offbeat but compelling film making.

Has all the signposts of a great noir but the intrigue is never adequately paid off or developed. Just ends with this pseudo nuclear nonsense. Watched on DVD. See more Andrew L @RT39837635 Aug 9, 2024 Robert Aldrich gets Mickey Spillane's most famous character right in this film noir that takes a simple plot and raises the stakes to where the main character, an inexpensive private eye with little-to-no morals named Mike Hammer, has to stop a global catastrophe. See more acsdoug D @acsdoug Jul 31, 2024 Ralph Meeker looks the part of a tough guy detective, but he doesn't sound like one. That high pitched voice of his really detracts from the character. Maybe if he was a better actor he could overcome that deficiency. Still the film has all you could wish for in a detective noir: thugs. violence and pretty dames. Good enough for me.
