    Snappy dialogue and fun mystery make this one a treat to watch.

    Noir at it's funnest (sic) This is a little gem I stumbled onto one evening by accident. It made me actually stop and watch. Some of the greatest one liners I've heard. I like a good mystery and that part is decent but the best part is the script.
