Swell hard-boiled crime trash., 22 January 2004
Author: bukakkefriedchicken from fabulous Las Vega$!

A film which was born unto obscurity, "Who Killed Mary What's 'er Name" deseves to be retrieved from oblivion and given a second look. Red Buttons is surprisingly good as a decent Joe who's trying to unravel the mystery of a ghetto hooker who's turned up murdered. The creatures of the street all knew who she was, but nobody seems to really give a rat's ass.

This is a sad look at urban reality, and despite it's tight budget it's fairy successful. 6/10
