Quite interesting and not bad at all. It’s
kind of semi-documentary about serial killer doing
his thing in Boston in the early 60s. First part concentrates around police
investigation and detective work and is far better than second one. Because
then it goes into this boring moral debate about choosing between “doing the
right thing” or protecting individual human rights. And then it just abruptly
ends without really giving any answers.
Most memorable thing about this one is that
Tony Curtis actually does a good job (okay, he also did fine in Sweet Smell of Success, but basically
there he just acted himself). And it’s even more amazing because he steals the
movie from Henry Fonda who just doesn’t seem to be interested in it.
Also worth mentioning are split screen
shots. They are super annoying at the beginning but then somehow I got used to
them and they are not used too frequently anyway. Hell, few times they actually do
increase cinematic effect.
All in all, it’s decent movie that I think ages
pretty well.
And check out the poster! Pretty cool, ha?
6/10
