Audience Member Again Chaney plays the role of a man who has something physically wrong, this time broken legs. His character is complex and interesting though, and he's a great actor, so it works. The story is sort of predictable too, but it's very suspenseful. I really enjoyed this thrilling romantic crime drama. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Fun little thriller, marred only by the all-too-convenient ending. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member another brilliant performance by Chaney. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
