nick s Solid storyline with interesting turns. The premise was reasonably fresh, at least compared to all the noir styled movies. Acting was good though a little stiff. The finale was more brutal than it needed to be. Overall quite enjoyable. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/20/24 Full Review Bob W Light on noir. None of the characters were particularly involving. Acting was all ok, but none were remarkable. Dennis O'Keefe's character was written especially poorly, cheesy and almost campy. The first couple of minutes were the best, then it fell soft. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/08/23 Full Review Audience Member very good film noir from the end of the first cycle Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
