The cinematography (Greg Gardiner) is obviously the most outstanding in this b/w psychological thriller, that I found reminiscent of 'Seconds' (Frankenheimer, 1966), due to the identity problem and the unconventional progression of the story. BE sure to see this in widescreen, for it will lose its appealing character in full-frame. The performances from the cast aren't really convincing enough for that matter. I guess they have a hard time keeping up with the off-beat vision of the directors. That vision crystallizes into an almost expressionist and sometimes minimalist worldview without turning into imagery. Visually, this film could only have been made after or before the eighties, because in the eighties the cinematic style and art direction would probably have been taken for granted (without actually being something Michael Mann would have made) while it is actually subtle and intentionally pregnant, as is the music. Recommendations are most films by John Frankenheimer, 'The Limey' (Soderbergh, 1999), and visually maybe 'Das Kabinett des doktor Caligari' (Wiene, 1920).
9/10
