Kiss Me Deadly

Synopsis:

Ex-spy Jacob Keane is drawn back into the shadowy world of international espionage when his former partner Marta reappears after seventeen years, her memory erased, on the run from a pair of deadly, psychopathic assassins.

Quick Thoughts:

“Kiss Me, Deadly” is a film that’s been in my collection for a while but only finally sat down to watch for this month’s post. Pulling in strong vibes from “The Bourne Identity” film saga with a former spy turning up without their memories, I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed this film. Like any good action film, the plot drew me in quickly and kept me captivated as our leads tried to stay ahead of the game and discover why they were being chased. Is it on the same cinematographic level as a blockbuster hit? Perhaps not. But I think the aspect that I enjoyed the most was the fact that Jacob being gay did not have an impact on the story; his sexuality was just accepted. If you’re a fan of spy films, I think you’ll enjoy this queer action film.
