4/10
Flaccid, sleazy thriller
14 April 2016
Warning: Spoilers
A low point in the career of Ray Milland, though he probably wanted it to be this way, and there is a certain fascination in watching him interact with masturbators and gay middle-aged men ("I bet my balls on it" - "Well, you wouldn't be risking much!"), making obscene hand gestures, and staring at a dead girl's naked body for an eternity. He looks old and tired, but he still elevates this flaccid, sleazy thriller a little, and when he - SPOILER - exits the picture halfway through, it becomes hopeless. Deserves some points for being shot in Australia, where the real story it was "based on" actually happened, but it's overlong, free of tension, and mostly poorly dubbed. *1/2 out of 4.
