COMMUNITY REVIEWS

seen it, good movie. submitted by Tassos on March 21, 2023, 8:19pm a very good movie, seen it some years ago.

Great flick submitted by brooksza on August 22, 2023, 1:22pm Oooh this was juicy. A few procedural movies in one. The train scene is extremely suspenseful. I liked how this was both small picture detective process details and big picture social commentary (which is still relevant 60 years later). I love the multiple reads on the title -- searching high and low and high rises/low slums.

The pink smoke was an awesome touch. As was the reflection from the sunglasses.
