Synopsis
The Killers, a film inspired by both the Ealing comedies and the American noir films of the 1950s, is a story about two amateur and inept hitmen first staking out their unknown victim then attempting to carry out the murder. Things do not go to plan. It contains all the elements of a classic noir story - crime, betrayal, greed, jealousy and double crosses but all served up from a uniquely British perspective with a fresh, modern and comic twist.
"The Killers" was written and directed by award winning British filmmaker Carlo Ortu and produced by the BIFA nominated Andrea Farrena and stars Matthew Jure and Ian Attfield who play hitmen Mike and Sean. The film also stars Anna Acton and Colin Holt.
Combined with strong, handheld black and white compositions and uncompromising long takes the viewer finds themselves drawn into the story and characters as the film very often seems to unfold in real time as the tension and suspense slowly increases and events come to a bloody climax.
