      nick s Well acted. They could have spent a little more time developing characters and motives, but the production quality was pretty good and the story moved along at a brisk pace. Better than average noir in my opinion, so I don't understand the harsh review by Schwartz. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/03/23 Full Review Audience Member just ok B movie fare Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
