Review of Desperate (1947) by Justin R — 31 Aug 2010
Meh. Ho-hum cat-and-mouse noir in which a truck driver gets imbroiled in a deadly heist and has to protect himself from the law, and his wife from the gangsters. The photography allows for some nice moments, but the plot is pretty formulaic.
The real problems is that the lead actors Steve Brodie and Audrey Lane fail to inspire, they're too earnest and one-dimensional. Worthwhile for the cinematography, tense climax, and Raymond Burr. Otherwise kind of blah.
