lousy

by the time this movie was screened, film noir was beginning to deteriorate..the sets looked fake(especially singapore), the camera angles obnoxious, the dialogue trite....all in all the people became too big and the universe too small....the characters dealt themselves the bad deck instead of fate...thus you have arguments, bickering and altogether ugly people...in earlier noir, the people were likeable but just couldn't escape their destiny..here there's nothing to like and we are glad they end up losers...sorry, but this film has all the makings of a turkey.
