If you loved The Longest Yard, try Kiss Me Deadly
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Robert Aldrich, and they sit in Crime territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Longest Yard, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Kiss Me Deadly is
Night. A lonely road. Headlights. Mike Hammer picks up a terrified woman fleeing an asylum, then wakes to find her dead and himself a target. He hunts her killers, suspecting they sought something of immense value. Aldrich’s bleak vision of noir makes cynicism an art.
