a film so insecure the creaters perhaps hop to milk an original film noir classic title and farewell my lovely and think the gullible would assume it a remake . the character be so foul and unappealing that it deserve it cold reception when first release . time only add to it it absurdity . have none of the guile and cinematography and desperation or despair of classic noir it rely instead on a convolute and senseless crime plot that would have easily result in several arrest within hour . a if that weren not enough it throw in an utterly sexless attempt at erotica in which at least one of the participant hadn not bother to bathe in several day . this only make this mess all the more painful to watch . find a good classic forty or fifty film noir instead of waste two hour on this failure .
