YMMV / The Killers (1964)

• Evil Is Cool: The titular killers in the original story were seen as archetypal bad guys with cool and witty slang. Lee Marvin and Clu Gulager take this and run with it.
• He Really Can Act: Ronald Reagan is surprisingly effective as an Affably Evil gangster and he gives a performance of subtle menace, holding his own with John Cassavetes and Lee Marvin. It's quite a contrast to his likability as a president.
• Moral Event Horizon: Charlie and Lee cross it in their Establishing Character Moment: they terrorize and hit a blind lady.
