7/10
A Pretty Good Crime Noir
5 September 2016
This film is fairly interesting and good. It surrounds the life of Walter Williams who is a married man - he was happy in his marriage but his wife Irene was not. Irene had a lover named Jim Torrence, together they plotted to kill her husband and make it look like a car accident while on his business trip. Things changed when Jim thought he had killed Walter and took off in Walter's car only to end up in a car wreck. Walter awoke and ended up in the back of a truck that was on the scene of the car wreck. Walter got off the truck when it stopped and found himself in a small town, read the headlines that he has been killed in the car wreck and decided to take a new life in that small town. The police are after Jim Torrence, who they think is still alive and Walter's wife Irene.

This one makes for a good prime time film or just a lazy afternoon flick if you are looking for a crime mystery to watch.

7.5/10
