The Killing (1956)
8/10

A group of middle-aged men plan to rob a racetrack. Directed by Stanly Kubrick. Sort of a film noir, though it's a heist film. Mostly centers around Elisha Cook Jr and his wife who's just with him for the off chance he can give her some money.

Nicely shot, good pace and acting, intriguing dialogue and entertaining.

Quentin Tarantino quoted that this film inspired Reservoir Dogs. I could see that.
