5/10
If you read any reviews before watching, it'll spoil it.

How some of these reviews got through vetting. Totally spoiling the entire plot & movie. Even their review headings spoil it. Let alone the blatant spoiling reviews not even marked as spoilers in the reduced red 'Warning: Spoilers' one line version. (Some were though). Revealing the ENTIRE plot. Entertaining enough if stumbled across without reading any of these IMDB reviews first. Looks like old movies don't matter so much to IMDB.

Wonder if the producers did the 'Eric Bana' thing, who shall we get for the role of Bruce Banner, I know lets have Eric Bana. In this case who shall we get for the lead Police detective role, lets have Paul Kelly, how about the younger other guy, let's have the newcomer De Forest Kelley, hardly a coincidence!. Paul Kelly had been around for 30 odd years beforehand, could have been the other way around but I doubt it. Bones had only just about started out in movies, very little had changed in 20 years then, he had umpteen roles in between this and Star Trek. Could have played McCoy straight after this one, he was able to put a lot of vulnerability into his roles as well as playing the heel. A decent enough actor overall, playing his roles with conviction.

Worth a watch if you can find it, but don't expect much. The YT version looks better quality than the Roku sourced one. Didn't quite get the plot in it's full absolute entirety towards the end, but most of it to mildly enjoy it. BTW, The new Commodore Hotel as seen in this movie, built in 1922 is still standing in Los Angeles, now known as the Commodore Regency Apartments.
