Technically Stanley Kubrick's 2nd directorial feature, but FEAR & DESIRE is considered by many that have seen it, including Kubrick himself, to be very amateurish and piss-poor. Thus KILLER'S KISS was Kubrick's first true movie per say, and we see a solid film noir picture from a promising and future filmmaking master.
You see lighting and shots that one can't believe that only did Kubrick pull off, but only at the age of 26. Maybe the best sequence in terms of photography is when the hero runs across the massive roofs of some lot buildings, where in the background you can see the Brooklyn Bridge and the rest of the city. Beautiful!
