acsdoug D @acsdoug 07/17/2024 Terrific film, reminded me of a Dostoevsky novel. You just know whatever Richard Widmark does (and he's excellent) he's ultimately doomed, but you still want to see how it happens. See more helder f 04/21/2024 A story about a self-involved man and his gimmicks to get rich. Great performances, and photography. Script a bit too melodramatic, a mixture of neo noir and action movie, which at times feels too disingenuous. Disingenuous in the sense that it attempts to create an emotion more than to tell a compelling story. The fact that his wife or partner appears first early in the movie, then disappears only to appear again in the very last scenes is an odd choice. See more Steve D 04/03/2024 Hard to care what happens to anyone. See more Blu B 01/13/2024 All Time Classic. The cinematography is amazing with incredible use of lights and shadows with stellar camerawork and a memorable setting of seedy underground London. Widmark is amazing in this and really carries the entire film along with an excellent supporting cast. This is perfectly aced also with a franticness kicking in the last 15-20 minutes. The music is really good also. The only is the editing is really well done but there is SOOO many sides involved in this hustle job by Harry (I think 6 parties total) it is genuinely hard to understand who is double crossing who and who is being setup. However a testament to how well made this is despite not understanding everything in the weeds the big picture still makes sense and you know Harry is screwed and this won't end well. Everyone should give this a try. See more Dick C 01/05/2024 It tells one who never changes... See more @Blobbo 07/14/2022 Acting and cinematography top notch. Story ok but hard to care about narcissist grifter. Great photography make all worthwhile, almost. See more Read all reviews
