DOUBLECROSS is a rather routine British B-movie thriller of the era, featuring the jovial Donald Houston as the bluff lead. He plays a fisherman tasked with transporting a couple of mysterious characters (as played by Anton Diffring and Allan Cuthbertson) across the Channel, with expect consequences. The film is bogged down by a dearth of action (a beach brawl is the highlight here) and a romantic sub-plot which makes things ridiculously slow at times. However, there are charming scenes set in the Cornish fishing village and pub, with the likes of John Blythe, a youthful Robert Shaw, and William Hartnell supplying effective performances for the local characters.
