The plot is promising, but the suspense vanishes the moment the police - too soon - realize who is the perpetrator. From this moment on the story follows a scheme we've seen thousand times before.
Unfortunately the main actress, Jane is IMHO a miscast, not only being significantly older than her 20-year long spouse Tom, but also acting increasingly erratic and incomprehensibly.
Knowing the murderers identity and that he's on the run, it is classical police work, without interfering of a hectic amateur detective.
A highlight is the acting of Meat Loaf as a smart and quiet detective.
This story would have had the potential of a perfect crime mystery with some twist and turns, and a surprising end. Unfortunately the last third of the film was wasted with a boring man hunt.
