Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/5 --
It's not the greatest thriller ever, but Kiss Me Deadly is classic film noir.
Orlando Sentinel
Rating: 4/4 --
It's not a horror movie by any means, but like a good horror movie it has images and tiny loose ends that make sense on a subconscious level.

San Francisco Chronicle
Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer represents the deformed endproduct of a thousand 1940s tough-guy movies, transformed by now into a leisure-oriented 1950s man more interested in his hi-fi and his sports car than in heroics.

The New York Review of Books
Rating: 3.5/4 --
The plot of the book is jettisoned for something altogether more terrifying and mysterious: Possession of a box that glows from within every time it is opened, however briefly. If that sounds like Pulp Fiction, well, it is, only 40 years earlier.

Hollywood more or less anticipated David Lynch in this crazy Cold War masterpiece...

Aldrich's annihilating masterpiece, one of the decade's key works

CinePassion
The trail leads to a series of amorous dames, murder-minded plug-uglies and dangerous adventures that offer excitement but have little clarity to let the viewer know what's going on.

Product Description:
Hard-hitting detective Mike Hammer (Ralph Meeker) takes on thugs and atomic secrets in Robert Aldrich's fast-paced thriller KISS ME DEADLY, an adaptation of the Mickey Spillane novel. The night goes awry for Hammer soon after he picks up a scantily clad hitchhiker (Cloris Leachman). The next thing he knows, he's assaulted by a couple of goons and the sultry drifter turns up dead. As Hammer tracks down the murderers, he realizes he is involved in an international conspiracy--one that could cost him his life. Generally considered to be the best of the many films centering on Spillane's classic protagonist and lauded as a primary inspiration and building block for the French Nouvelle Vague, KISS ME DEADLY boasts nightmarish imagery, a careening, sinuous plot, and an unforgettable shock ending.
