Wow, I simply had no idea what to believe. It got so suspenseful towards the end when she started to suspect. At one point I thought it was her, another I thought it was the agent. Even AFTER the confession I was still suspicious of Steele.
CvptvinHowdy likedIn a Lonely PlaceOf this Blackout Noir collection, this is the best one I've seen so far, with the best performances. Not gonna be a favorite of mine in the genre, and the ending is good, but I kind of hoped it'd pack more of a punch or a twist.
MovieDaddy likedIn a Lonely PlaceA clever “did he do it?” crime thriller where you already know the answer… but still second guess yourself. Bogart is flawless in his antagonistic protagonist lead role. This one undeservedly flies under a lot of radars.
