It starts much like a Film Noir may begin, and plays out much the same, only it doesn't have guns, not even ray guns. If you can imagine a film like that with a definite early 1960 feel to it, think the Avengers, without the flippancy/whimsy, then you have an idea of what kind of a movie this is, although it does have some style, is not pursued over substance.
It's B movie gold to me, relying on story and acting, which is of a high grade, and works around the lack of special effects, with a plausible plot. It would not be fair to single out which actor excels, but the 3/4 main leads all put in top performances.
It's shot in Black and White, and has some active angled camera work, and plenty of good images are to be seen on the screen, which I enjoyed. There is also much 1960's decor around for those who want to recall their youth.
Its also a well paced film, with a good mixture of plot development and action, all making up for good solid entertainment that I was engrossed with. The story may have chimes of other Sci Fi films from this period for sure, but it all didn't matter for me, for this is a worthy film to watch and enjoy, with even a surprise or two in store.
Not a classic, and maybe not even a cult film, but if you enjoy a classy B/W, 60's, Sci Fi thriller, then this could be for you.
