La importancia de la "economía de estilo". Relación con Bresson.
"Part of the film's reputation lies in its influence on the American director Martin Scorsese, who cites it as the film that has influenced his approach to filmmaking the most. Scorsese praises its "economy of style"[8] and compares its ability to communicate ideas through cinematic "shorthand" to the work of Jean-Luc Godard and Robert Bresson.[9]
Reviewing the film for the Chicago Reader, Jonathan Rosenbaum praises the film as "singular and nearly perfect"[10], noting its "lean, purposeful style"[11] and "witty feeling for character, dialogue, and narrative ellipsis."[12] In overview of a 2006 Film Forum series on film noir for Slant Magazine, Fernando F. Croce writes that "[Irving] Lerner's camera records [Vince] Edwards's moral emptiness with a sharpshooter's calm." The Time Out Film Guide describes Murder by Contract as a "terrific, no-nonsense B movie,"[13] praising the film as "well ahead of its time"[14] and adding that "Lerner and his superb cameraman, Lucien Ballard, make the most of a shoestring budget to produce a taut, spare, amoral film; it doesn't look restricted, it looks restrained."[15]"
