Now on DVD

I watched this movie a couple of years ago and wanted to see it on DVD. It is ever as good as it was the first time around. It is really well written. For a story. There have been several movies where the accused runs around and finds enough evidence to clear themselves before the detectives can and manage to elude the police at the same time. Fine acting and a strong score.
