Gripping Thriller - 13 review by CP Customer
Shot to resemble an old film noir classic, this black and white thriller is really one you shouldn't miss. Not a lot of dialogue (subtitled anyway) but immensely enjoyable and well worth a rent at least. I've just ordered a copy from Amazon for myself...

Excellent - 13 review by CP Customer
I really enjoyed this film and found it spell-bounding until the final second. It is obvious that the film is a independant film and the lack of special effects and techniques make sthe film even more enjoyable.
A must see!!
