A women needs her ex lovers help to escape from Germany

Rating: 7/10 (9 March 2016)

The movie was shot in black and white and mostly took place in a night club. The lighting made good use of shadows to make it actually look and feel like a crowded, smoky night club. The film's lead (Humphrey Bogart) does an incredible job of playing a kind of mysterious, hard to crack his shell, kind of protagonist. However, I feel the films hype may have lessened the impact of it for me. I liked it and enjoyed myself overall, however, I found myself bored at times as it was mostly the same location. Something about stagnancy of location makes the plot also feel stagnant to me as well. Though, like I said, still an awesome plot and great performances all around.
