One of the few films that I've seen which attempts to ape a particular style and manages to do so, in terms of its writing and direction, so well that it could be one of the genre's masterpieces.
As every aspect of the story unfolds, its multi-layered intrigue deepens, peeling back layer after layer of sordid intrigue without at any point becoming muddled or confused. It's focus remains solely on untangling the web that is thrown up around the characters and its that driving force that propels the film forward.
Compelling from the get-go and a masterful film noir.
