It’s got that classic British noir grit and Trevor Howard is doing his best, but the middle section really starts to drag its feet.
It hits all the expected beats of a "man on the run" story without ever quite elevating the tension to something special. Great atmosphere in parts, just a bit of a slog to get through the finish line. Not bad, but I won't be rushing to rewatch it.
