This film is a good example of classic feeling film noir. The cinematography fit the film well and the stark, noticeable lighting and smoky atmosphere all added to the mysterious feel. The movie starts out as if you already know the ending, but through telling the story as a one-sided flashback, and then later discovering a new outcome, it gives a unique way of unraveling the plot and revealing the mystery. Most of the time throughout the movie the characters and situations all seemed realistic in nature and were understandable. The acting in the film was not anything really special, but it seemed to fit the characters portrayed pretty well.
