Kill Me Again (1989)
Directed by John Dahl
Doomsy’s Rating: 67/100
A memorable debut, Kill Me Again is a sexy, spicy desert noir by John Dahl, who would later make something of a career in the neo-noir genre. Joanne Whalley is a criminal femme fatale with a dangerous and psychopathic boyfriend named Vince (Michael Madsen). She decides enough is enough and breaks free from both Vince, the mob, and the cops on their tail and hires burnt-out private investigator Jack Andrews (Val Kilmer) to fake her death. What then transpires is a thoroughly entertaining blend of erotic thriller and desert noir that invokes classical images of both genres and deposits them into a synth-heavy 80s package. Also, while I’m not a huge car nerd, this movie boasts some of the coolest cars of the decade (for example the above image of Vince’s Cadillac). The real standout in the film, however, is Michael Madsen, ripping up a sizeable chunk of the film as the ice-cold madman Vince (one scene of him slitting a man’s throat must have been the inspiration for his more iconic role in Reservoir Dogs). He is so convincing in his role, able to be both menacing and attractive at the same time. Give this a watch just for his performance, because god damn, is he terrific. Otherwise, check this out if you’re in the mood for a good little noir.
