| HKFlix Says: |
This film is a freight train of cynicism, so powerful it will rattle you to your core. Director Billy Wilder and star Kirk Douglas hit this one way out of the park. |

| Plot: | Kirk Douglas gives the fiercest performance of his career as Chuck Tatum, an amoral newspaper reporter caught in dead-end Albuquerque who happens upon the story of a lifetime--and will do anything to ensure he gets the scoop.

| Overview: | One of the most scathing indictments of American culture ever produced by a Hollywood filmmaker, Billy Wilder's "Ace In The Hole" is legendary for both its cutting social critique and its status as a hard-to-find cult classic.
Kirk Douglas gives the fiercest performance of his career as Chuck Tatum, an amoral newspaper reporter caught in dead-end Albuquerque who happens upon the story of a lifetime--and will do anything to ensure he gets the scoop.
Wilder's follow-up to Sunset Boulevard is an even darker vision, a no-holds-barred exposé that anticipated the rise of the American media circus.
