Review by clanciai

John Drew Barrymore plays a really vicious part in this, but he does it well and almost over-convincing in all his reckless cruelty, psychosis running wild and abominable brutality, while his two accessories in the diamond heist both become his victims. The story is actually too revolting to stand scrutiny, its exaggerations make it impossible, but it is well made, and with small effects you scare the wits not only out of John Drew Barrymore but the audience as well. Eva Bartok turns up for a change, so much needed, and she actually gets the better of them all, while no one can suspect what she really is up to, least of all the audience. It's an efficient thriller although a little too overdone to go for a noir, but it is all actually a lesson of how karma works. When Sam comes to haunt Walter for his death, it is perfectly logical, and Eva Bartok doesn't really have to help much, although she provides the right music. You actually hope for Sam to be still alive and almost expect him to turn up at any minute, but he doesn't have to. Karma will blow them all to hell.
