Title: This is not Television
Review: Television has ruined the ablility of movie fans to stay focused. So many of us are attuned to 8 minute bytes. This film is an excellent "noir" but it requires the patience of a literate adult! Yes, there is a lot of dialogue; but it all has a reason. The production values are excellent. The acting is top notch; just look into Josh H.'s face for the unspoken dialogue - he's excellent. This is NOT for the 15 to 25 year old crowd. It's for us grownups. Thank God someone is still makeing movies for us. Calm down - watch "The Big Sleep" first, and you'll see the tradition from which this one comes. Hitchcock once said about a negative comment concerning one of his films: "It's only a movie!" I suggest you'll enjoy it more if you keep that in mind. Don't mind the children; watch this one!
