frank P @FrankP 1d The screenplay has real structural problems. The villains' motivation is murky. The character behavior keeps shifting based on what the plot needs rather than what they'd logically do. The character for Shela is sexist: the film treats her emotional turbulence as simply how women are — irrational, pulled by feeling, unable to act on clear self-interest — rather than as the product of a particular bind she's in. Shela is written as a collection of contradictions that the film never resolves into an actual person. The beginning of the movie has things going for it: a bit of Bourne Identity with a Twilight Zone feel, but as the plot emerges and the players become better defined, there is no satisfying resolution.

The story unfolds in an unsteady fashion, but the early 1960s New York exteriors and a funny Walter Matthau acting Jon make this an okay watch. See more James B @JamesBass 10/23/2023 Convoluted and nonsensical movie that manages to keep the viewer just interested enough to sit through its running time. See more Steve D 07/25/2023 All it really has is its cast. See more Blobbo X @Blobbo 07/23/2022 Blobs up, guess Blobbo. Unique and interesting story but slow going at times. See more Bill B 11/25/2020 Peck must have had déjà vu filming this one, with its similarities to Spellbound twenty years earlier. Manhattan businessman seems to have amnesia while being chased by killers. But is he really a businessman, and are his fragmented memories trustworthy? Production is a bit clunky but has good moments. See more Read all reviews
