Gregory L Mar 8 It was a very good yarn and quite exciting most of the time. The comic relief wasn’t necessary and would have made a great noir without it. For a couple hours entertainment it’s pretty good. See more acsdoug D @acsdoug 12/04/2023 Below average noir. I don't think Powell was too impressed with the script either as he seems to be dialing it in. See more nick s @Nick_S 11/20/2023 A slightly overwrought detective thriller. Acting was good all round, with great cameos by Shelley Winters and Tommy Ivo. Some nice directing touches. See more Read all reviews
