With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for people who can't resist a good whodunit and anyone drawn to the darker side of the street. The investigation drives everything, one lead at a time. Fans of Pulp Fiction or Layer Cake should feel right at home.
- The mood
- Tense, gritty.
- The pace
- Moves along nicely, at 1 hr 21 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1972: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you like your heroes clean-cut.
A London slasher pack the suitcases of his victims before stabbing them to death in this adaptation of Edgar Wallace's 'Secret of the Black Suitcases.'
