Review of Double Indemnity (1944) by Rocko P — 12 Jun 2009
When dictionaries are replaced by upload your own video websites, look up anti-hero and this film will play. A true classic, simplistic by today's standards but a good old-fashioned nail-biter of a film from Billy Wilder, Double Indemnity was years ahead of its time.
Great acting, well lit and well shot as Wilder's films always are, and with a screenplay Wiilder and no less a noir star than author Raymond Chandler adapted from a popular novel of the time, you can't miss this film.
The narration is so gripping it could be a five-star radio play, but on top of that you get to watch it... and you should.
