Review
A superb, stylish and tense noir thriller unlucky not to win any of its four Oscar nominations. Roy is a con-man in hospital having just been beaten up after a con backfired. This is where his con-artist mum catches up with him after eight years, and when she meets his girlfriend the tension erupts.
