About
Pick it up if you want a gritty, claustrophobic noir love triangle with striking city atmosphere and mounting violence, but Not for you if you need a tight, deeply satisfying plot or consistently strong performances like you’d expect from Berlin Express or The Hitch-Hiker.
Pros: gritty New York mood; standout visuals; tense noir setup | Cons: sluggish or basic plot; uneven acting; pacing issues
