A hitman story unlike any other. 💥

Don Siegel's 'The Killers' (1964) transforms Ernest Hemingway's short story into a stylish, hard-hitting crime thriller. With razor-sharp dialogue, gripping suspense and striking visuals, it remains one of the defining crime films of the 1960s.

😎😎 Lee Marvin and Clu Gulager are chilling as the relentless assassins, while John Cassavetes, Angie Dickinson and Ronald Reagan appearing in his final film role – round out a stellar cast.

📽️ 'The Killers' 1964 M
📅 3.00pm, Sun 19 Jul
