a wonderful semi humorous homage to expressionistic black and white film of folk like fw murnau and fritz lang and carl dreyer and marcel carné and others . allen play a character caught in a kafkaesque nightmare and at first thinking he be part of a vigilante group try to catch a killer and slowly realizing that he might be a suspect . the writing be a little forced ( this be and after all and woody allen try to be a coy kafka ) and but the point be make and and no harm do . the cinematography be interesting and about 100 shade of gray and but make sure you watch in a very dark room with a good screen and or detail will get swallow in the fog . this be an amusing little movie with a few laugh that be actually snort of uh huh . the acting be fine and consider the odd vehicle and and it worth watch if you be big woody allen fan . also of interest to those knowledgeable about expressionistic film . i would give this a 6 . 5 out of 10 .
