Russ G @RT78760655 Jan 19, 2025 I love noir's but this one makes Edmund O'Brien's far-fetched "D.O.A." look positively brilliant. You'll keep watching just to see if it can get any worse. Spoiler Alert: It does! Bottom line: I sat through this PoS so you don't have to! See more Feb 17, 2021 One of the greatest noir films. See more deke p @RT96675217 Jul 2, 2020 wow. What a double crossin plot. Meanest girl. Never heard of til saw on The Movie channel 7-2020 See more ashley h @ashleyhobgood87 Feb 12, 2017 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.
