the film open with a high speed chase at night . the cop be chase after someone . shot ring out . the car the cop be chase crash eject the passenger a notorious criminal as well a the newly elect da and his wife . only the wife survive . a reporter and friend of the gravely injured wife sneak into her room in the hospital and ask her to tell him what happen and she do . cheaply make film noir with a cast that be mostly unfamiliar face . not a bad film a such and it just that the film seem to confuse motion of a twisty plot a the same thing a motion of character you care about . i do not blame the cast for make this less than engage and i blame the writer who be constantly change who the principle character be a a way of keep you interested . be anyone good or bad . it not really clear until the final fade out . only the dueling mob boss seem to be constant and the result be that they play more a carton rather than real people . a i say it not bad and it just that you end up watch it to see how the twist go rather than because youre engage with the character . you probably could spend your time well elsewhere .
