Three to Kill is political in the Situationist sense, dealing
with the alienation at the center of the "Society of the
Spectacle." A long time ago, I compared it to Hammett's
Flitcraft parable -- it's about a businessman who is woken up
from his mundane, but well-to-do (he has all of the material
comforts he could possibly want, but is just numb), life by a
"falling beam" (an attempt on his life, in this case) and how
with changes him, and for how long.
