Kiss Me Deadly

Honestly when looking back at the film Kiss Me Deadly I find it hard not to laugh. The whole concept was ridiculous really, from beginning to end I couldn't help myself from seeing the movie as a joke. At the beginning of the film there was this very mysterious feeling floating around, with the naked woman by the side of the road and the panting and moaning. I have to say, the opening credits did leave me wondering what was going on under the dashboard. The opening credits had caught my attention but I soon lost interest in the story. I felt that the acting was below par, most of the time the actors were overacting. It was also distracting how Hammer was able to bed just about any woman who came in contact with him. Lets just say the character development could have been better....VA VA VOOM, for instance. I mean what is his deal, he must have eaten paint chips as a child or something. As ridiculous as Va Va Voom was (if that is his real name) I must say he was the only character that I connected with. His joking personality made him easy to like, and I felt bad when the car came crushing down on him. Overall "Kiss Me Deadly" left me looking for more, I guess that is what "Chinatown" is for...redemption for the Film Noir genre.
