For a film about a cold, unemotional hit man, there is a lot of black comedy and some very amusing character development. The whole interplay between Edwards and the two gangland contractors who stick to him like glue until the big hit is done is unexpectedly amusing at times. Especially when the usually terse Edwards pulls up a chair, backwards style, and expounds on his world view to his companions' complete surprise.

I love it. It's much better than ZORBA THE GREEK though the subject matter is much different. Zorba is a pro-life film but Murder is a film about a flawed nihilist with a happy, upbeat soundtrack. Perfect for these times. Brilliant!
