But maybe I'm getting ahead of myself here. Let's give you some backstory. Right from the start with Saboteur , you know you're in for something gritty and ominous. It'll also amaze you, because its easy to totally let yourself get absorbed. This hardly feels like a film made close to 60 years ago.
Every shot is like a heartbeat - necessary and important.
Saboteur follows Barry Kane, an aircraft factory worker who toils away at his job, day after day. One afternoon, he and his buddy Ken are on their way to lunch when they literally bump into a skinny, weasely guy named Frank Fry. He drops an arm-full of mail in the encounter. But after he hurries away, they notice that he's left behind a hundred-dollar bill, so they return it to him. Rushing to help, Barry and Ken run for fire extinguishers.
