Kiss Me Deadly 12A
Detective Mike Hammer takes on thugs and atomic secrets in this masterful Mickey Spillane adaptation. An encounter with a scantily clad hitch-hiker leads Hammer into a web of murder and international conspiracy. Set within the nuclear paranoia of the atomic bomb, Robert Aldrich’s controversial and intense nihilistic film contains all the elements of great film noir - a stark opening sequence, destructive femme fatales, lowlife gangsters and an anti-hero.
