most of these 30 thriller or murder mystery have be forget by now because and let face it and they haven not got much to offer apart from occasionally a good story . this little film have a very decent story and fluently write dialogue and some really adequate acting performance and yet it simple can not be call memorable because of the shabbiness of the production . pat obrien ( hell house ) star a an obtrusive reporter investigate the vicious assassination of a befriended district attorney and unravels almost single handedly an entire network of corruption and blackmail and political scandal . his performance be very good and he get to say some very slick line and yet the movie lack a lot of action and continuity . there one sequence near the beginning that i find particularly smart and show how the assignment for murder be pass on to several involved party and thus create a complex structure that sadly never get properly clarify . there be some more ingenious and dared idea in the plot and but it all look too poor for you to care . feel free to avoid this one .
