      william k Routine B movie crime drama is mildly witty and fast-paced, but otherwise quite unremarkable. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Genuinely fun pulp entertainment, with some humor that still works and creative camera movement that enhances the comic timing.
