An unseen narrator occasionally guides us as the daring event and its aftermath is shown from various perspectives, building up a compete picture from a number of striking smaller pieces, each helped along by lengthy takes and some long and revealing tracking shots. The hard-boiled dialogue keeps the pace steady even when the plot demands that the telling be low key.
If you're a fan of Tarantino and want to see where he got some of his more interesting ideas from, then The Killing should definitely be on your list.
