This is a film unlike any other - pushing (or punching) at the limits of screen violence, grit and horror for 1955.
Are you ready to go on a frantic and frightening adventure through the cold-war backstreets of Los Angeles and into the murkiest underbelly of crime brutality and treachery?
If any movie deserves its status as a classic of its genre, "Kiss Me Deadly" is it. Film Noir doesn't come any darker or more dangerous than this.
If any of this is ticking your boxes, you might just be blown away by "Kiss Me Deadly" - I was!
