Non, no, no, that's not a thriller but a crime, noir movie, a film noir in the UK manner, if you prefer. But quite different from the usual British stuff you find since one decade now, directed by the likes of Paul Tanter and starring guys like Bill Murray - not the American actor but the one, from UK...Corny and awkward movies for most of them, some in the Tarantino ( Reservoir Dogs) fashion. This movie I am talking now is closer to HYENA than the rest of the UK noir production, and far better too, darker, bleak and depressing too. Characters are powerful, and editing breathless. No thriller here, no hero vs bad guys. The lead is a born looser seeking for pardon or a sort of redemption, as the hero of another noir movie from France called : J'IRAI AU PARADIS CAR L'ENFER EST ICI. Very close to this one in the overall scheme, if not the story itself and the atmosphere, but only the message.
