Very entertaining, but with a crude ending.

Really dark, cool little film noir. I see a lot of complaints about it due to the way Cusack is handled, but what they fail to understand is that it's not his movie, it's very much Huston's movie, and despite some violence, it's actually fairly feminist. This deserves to share the spotlight with some of the noir greats.

the movie smelled like champagne, but tasted like beer; looks like a great noir, but it's really just an okay one.
