Fresh film noir

Rating: 9/10 (21 July 2019)

The studios perpetually shot down the idea of this movie ever getting made but the director stuck to his guns and took a bold risk putting forward some - at the time - relatively unknown actors. If you like film noir genre, this is a MUST SEE - I thought Guy Pearce was absolutely stellar in his role and cinematographer Dante Spinotti's artistic yield in the movie is palpable and inviting.
