Hot damn this one's intense.
The Killing is one of Stanley Kubrick's earliest works (1956) and it is perhaps the most interesting heist movie I've ever seen.
Then again, I have yet to see Reservoir Dogs.
Don't worry, it's on the list.
But back to The Killing.
The nonlinearity of the plot adds greatly to the intensity and keeps the excitement of the movie up throughout. Yet, this is done modestly, unlike many modern movies that attempt to do so.
Essentially, this film examines a scenario in which every element of a heist goes flawlessly (too flawlessly...) until a miniscule threat ruins everything in a drastic chain reaction.
All in all, this is one of my favorites I've seen thus far on the streak.
Oh, and I should add that this is incredibly paranoia-inducing. Yeah.
