More interesting for its direction than its story
This "will-he-get-caught?" (as opposed to a whodunit) story boasts some innovative, impressively mobile camerawork but is nearly ruined by Edmund Lowe's highly obnoxious (at least in the first half) character; when he makes fun of the dead body of a woman lying right in front of him and drops his cigarette ashes on her, he crosses a line that his later "redemption" ark by trying to help a damsel in distress cannot fully bring him back from. The opening sequence is certainly a grabber. **1/2 out of 4.
