A successful businessman is living out the American dream until his PTSD comes back in human form to reignite the memories that have haunted him since the war, ones that could contradict his shiny new persona. Though we might have seen these plot elements touched upon in slightly more superficial ways elsewhere, here they take on almost Shakespearean import - but in the taut wireframe of noir tropes. A nerve-wracking, nuanced and tense film, almost shot like a horror movie in certain moments, becomes a tragic one with a dark fatalistic outlook. The cast is tremendous, and there are some great scenes and shots - this is one for the ages. A must-see for any noir fan.
