I felt that this was an instanct Noir classic. Not only was it slightly different in multiple ways, it was a whole new version of noir in a way. The plotline invovled multiple conflicts that Aldrich had to confrnt at one point or another. Alrich was a perfect character for the part, he seemed to perfect the original noir character. Kind of hidden in the shadows, but at the same time new exactly what to do at any given situation. He was on top of the game and one step ahead of the others. It was somewhat confusing to go from conflict to conflict but i fealt that it through off the typical noir movie and made it its own by re creating but still following basic guidelines of Film Noir.
The characterization is very key to the success of this movie. Aldrich seemd to be at the time, the Under cover detective who knew everything. He rarely messed around and took his issues face to face. Failing wasnt seen as an option in his eyes and he tried very hard to not. I was very inrigued by his different acting compared to Double Indemnity. I noticed multiple similiar traits but his traits just stook out more to me catching my attention for longer times and keeping me inovled in the movie. All in all, Kiss me deadly was a great movie, not my all time favorite but i was very attracted to it by the acting.
