Review of Beyond a Reasonable Doubt (2009) by Marco T — 21 Jan 2008

Another film noir by the great German director Fritz Lang, one that is often overlooked and shouldn't be. The plot has a clever intimal premise - Writer sets himself up to take murder rap to show the errors of circumstantial evidence - and proves to be very engrossing in its initial bleak twists of irony it throws at us, but the film begins to lose momentum as it approaches the midpoint.

The surprise ending is clever yet for some reason strangely predictable (at least to me). A good and solid noir that should be released on DVD!
