Title: Very disappointing film noir
Product review: As a huge film noir fan who was aware of this film's importance to various directors I admire, I was very interested in seeing this movie and then extremely disappointed by it. Some of the acting is fine but some of it is atrociously bad. The story is preposterous which would be fine if it were more entertaining. And the film as a whole is a big dud. If you're looking for great noir, check out "Double Indemnity", "Chinatown", "The Maltese Falcon" and others. Hell, even rent "Detour"--low-budget and dated but far superior to this film.
