  In many ways this is a 'run of the mill' thriller with a plot that wouldn't have seemed out of place in Columbo. But the acting of the two leads ... read more »

  Almost a 'great' film.
  
  I enjoyed this film immensely, if only to enjoy watching the ever reliable Brian Dennehey - surely one of the most underrated actors on the scene. Dennehey has ... read more »

  Could have been so much better

  80s style thriller, but none the worse for that
