★★★★★ · The laugh of Widmark · 20cent · 2020-10-12
Why isn't there any review of this so good movie? It's something you would like to share. Surely it's a little thinner than "No Way Out", but with the same scary laughter of Richard Widmark. But here he only laughs, like a dog can only bark. Some way there is also somekind of an atmosphere that reminds a bit "The Misfits", lost guys, lost girls. But with a happy end, and a happy end just for the last 30 seconds. Until then, it is amazingly exhausting.
★★★★ · Solidly good classic fil noir · deanmyrick · 2022-03-11
