Thehibikiew Not even bad in a good way
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
christopherlvngs This could of made a nice 80min drama. The story is totally unbelievable which in turn makes the end seem overly tragic. It's to slow compared with some of the great film noirs.
Olivia S This film was okay. The plot was good, it had a lot of iconic points to it and it kept your interest. It really showed how women are just as manipulative and sly as men are and that men can get pushed around in a marriage just like women can. It was pretty iconic with the role changes with Chris is completely head over heels for Kitty and lets her play him. There were a lot of flaws to this movie, though. The lighting was awful. The screen was either too bright or too dark or there would just be a blob of light right in the center. It could get pretty annoying as you were watching the film. The camera work was pretty good, though. There was a lot of perspective. The shots were from a lot of different angles and characters. You could get more than one point of view during the movie which made it more interesting to watch. The acting was very good, too. All the actors played their characters very well. Each were very convincing and could really get you into the feel of the movie. Sometimes you could look at the scene and just ask yourself, "Why is she doing that?!" Not a bad watch, overall.
Bryan Oliver (randomguy1234567890) Wow. This was amazing. That feeling of being trapped like he is at first makes him an easily identifiable character, and the way he is taken advantage of is really great to watch. I wish Kitty was a little more mature and scheming, as it is it seems the film isn't quite sure if she is evil or just in a twisted relationship with Johnny. Johnny is fun, though I wish we had more back-story on him, and how he became the man he is.The ending may have been over the top, but I loved it. Maybe it was a bit overdone, but it pulled off being creepy in a way that I haven't yet seen other old films do.
MovieLoverToo This is definitely one of the best movies I have seen all through out Cinema history. It had me on the edge of my seat from the first frame to the last.Brilliant direction by Fritz Lang who times and measures every nuance and emotion of this movie like a master conductor.The cast are equally brilliant with Edward G Robinson taking us through this journey like a close and trusted friend.The timing and pace of the movie is a work of art and genius. This is extremely rare to get all the elements so right in a movie. And Fritz Lang has done it.This is an all time classic that stands the test of time. A Truly great masterpiece.
