The Killers

“I watched it so many times and needed it so much as a reference that I ended up just filming my television so that I had it on my phone at all times.”

Jason Schwartzman

Actor

“The Killers, of course, is one of the great film noirs of all time, and of course I love film noir.”

Carl Franklin

Director

“The way the film starts — they show up at a school for the blind and immediately start terrorizing the blind receptionist. It's shocking. Just absolutely shocking. And what it does, and this is what Siegel has been known to do, is that the shockingness and the surprisingness of the violence rivets your attention for the rest of the movie.”
