nick s Cute detective style movie. The story beats are improbable and are perhaps more suitable to a stage play. Replete with comedic splashes that would appeal to a 1940s audience. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/19/24 Full Review 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. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
