Pablo Villaça Cinema em Cena - A trama absurda compromete bastante o longa, que, curiosamente, acaba se tornando interessante graas performance exagerada da bela Jean Gillie (que morreria precocemente apenas trs anos depois). Rated: 3/5 Feb 10, 2008 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Gillie is one of the more cruel femme fatales in film noir lore. Rated: C Oct 11, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member One of the greatest noir films. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review deke p wow. What a double crossin plot. Meanest girl. Never heard of til saw on The Movie channel 7-2020 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review ashley h Decoy is an excellent film. It is about a mortally wounded female gangster who recounts how she and her gang revived an executed killer from the gas chamber to try and find out where he buried a fortune in cash.. Jean Gillie and Edward Norris give fantastic performance. The screenplay is well written. Jack Bernhard did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the drama and mystery. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member good noir bad lost review-again Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Although riddled with some ridiculous plot points, it manages to stay fairly entertaining, partly with the help of a femme fatale so evil she's practically a cartoon villain. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member An unforgettable opening scene descends quickly into a predictable noir. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews
