Val Kilmer’s Mostly Forgotten Neo-Noir Packed In All the Lies, Deceit, Sex, and Hitchcock References You Could Want
Kill Me Again, starring the likes of Val Kilmer and Michael Madsen, is a thrilling neo-noir packed with action and high stakes.
1989's Kill Me Again goes off with a bang, literally—with death arriving a minute into the film, it promises to be a wild ride. A thrilling neo-noir packed with action and deceit, Val Kilmer is excellent in the tension-filled slow burn, just a few years after his breakout role in Top Gun as Iceman. Michael Madsen also stars in the film and takes it to a whole other level as a psychopathic killer that raises the stakes in gruesome ways. Unpredictable and familiar all at the same time, Kill Me Again pays many homages to the works of Alfred Hitchcock, especially his iconic noirs from the '40s and '50s.
