    Chain (broken)

    Detective movies or movies that had a whodunnit mystery attached to them are sort of something I always really was drawn to. So I did have an affinity for this while watching it, that others may not have. Even so I couldn't help but see the flaws and the aging process this has gone through. All those years did not help elevate this.

    Still if you consider this and maybe even acknowledge and accept this, this can be fun. It drags a bit when it comes to the pacing, but the mystery keeps one going. Good actors are involved in this too, though you couldn't always tell. Some wooden dialog/performances are also included. This also should have been shorter running time wise, but it is what it is ... tension varies and some viewers may find that boring to be frank. So good things and bad things combined, I've seen way worse movies and am biased anyways as stated above ...
