PreambleCame in to this movie not knowing anything about it other than I really liked the director's other big movie "The 3rd Man". Warning, spoilers below.
HaikuJohnny's in the IRA. An unusually young & handsome James Mason. Fresh out of prison, he's going to lead the gangs next heist!
And sh!t goes horribly wrong and Johnny is badly hurt and on the lam:
Lots of wandering around snowy Dublin:
Meeting some very strange people:
Having hallucinations:
I think they call this 'foreshadowing':
Hey, the lovers are reunited at the end - everything turns out OK, right? Hahaha, clearly you haven't been paying attention:
SummaryOK, that is some bleak sh!t!! Clearly this is a film noir that's concerned more with punishment than with justice. And I LIKED that about the film.
