A very good looking low budget film-noir set in Dublin. The IRA sets up a payroll van robbery which does not quite come out the way they wanted. The cash disappears and one of their own is suspected. An American newspaper reporter, William Sylvestor, gets himself involved and finds his life in danger. The police want him to pony up all the info he has while the IRA let him know he won't last long if he talks. He decides he must find out what happened on his own. This is the only film directed by former editor John Pomeroy and features some great camera work. Particularly striking are the dark lanes and alleys shot at night. Nice job by all here considering what a low budget they must of had. This is a tight little UK noir and worth a look. (b/w)
