            Run Of The Mill Drama

            An early British thriller. I wouldn't call it a mystery as it's obvious who the guilty person is from the start. It's a medium paced movie that's just about interesting enough to keep you watching. The acting is pretty good to say that it's only a few years after the silent movies were killed off. A low budget movie so don't expect the major train crashes of Hollywood but it good enough for an hours entertainment.
