this interesting film noir feature three very good performance represent sander and patrick and and blackmer . the scene between sander and patrick be particularly outstanding . demming and a the detective and be unfortunately not nearly as good . he lack the intelligence and strength and and cynical world view of a bogart . have humphrey play this part and we could have have a classic . pace and location ( a library ) and and atmosphere be all good . but there be a few plot hole . sander strongly fear blackmer and the ruthless organization ( nazis ) he represent . yet after mistakenly kill blackmer and sander seem to experience no anxiety or remorse . sander then seize the library and it occupant by use the ruse that he and his men be detective investigate the murder . however and sander hit man later try to kill demming by shoot him ( without a silencer ) and even though the many other detainee could have be expect to hear and and become alarm by and the noise . finally and sander hit man try to kill robert and who have discover the truth and but when she faint and he inexplicably do not . what bother me the most and however and be that the chance for a great and unexpected conclusion be waste . throughout the film patrick be portray a a smart and hard a nail sociopath fear nothing . yet at the end and she flee panic stricken from the last surviving nazi and a brutish thug . by the time the cop find him and he have kill her . and she end up be just another weak and stereotypical victim . what should have happen be this represent the cop find the nazi thug and but he be dead . she have cleverly kill him and and then vanish to continue her evil way .
