Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Clevercell Very disappointing...
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
jamesraeburn2003 A top journalist, Jack Moir (Conrad Philips), is framed for a train robbery by nightclub owner and Soho crime lord, The Duke (George Pastell), because he considers that he has become too interested in his activities in his newspaper columns and fears that it could arouse the interest of the police. Moir does time but, when he gets out, he vows to bring The Duke to book.An utterly routine and totally missable crime thriller from Britain's poverty row studio Butcher's Films. The Cinematograph Act 1927 stipulated that UK cinemas had to show a certain number of British made films. The result was what became known as the quota-quickies - cheaply and hastily made movies that earned themselves such a bad reputation that they gave our film industry a bad name. Yet, there were some exceptions that have become to be regarded as classics but, alas, this is not one of them. Its ultra-low budget is evident with its rickety sets - it clearly did not stretch far enough to shoot a train robbery sequence! - and never did an hour seem like an eternity as it is all chat and no interest. The film's brightest moments come from Ballard Berkeley as Moir's boss and Linda Marlowe as his girlfriend who offer energetic and likable performances in what little screen time they have. But, unfortunately, they are not given enough to do and any brief flicker of enthusiasm quickly evaporates.
realthog *SPOILERS* Note that the plot summary given by one earlier reviewer is wrong in almost every conceivable respect. Phillips is an experienced reporter who's been hounding nightclub owner/crook Pastell, who in retaliation frames him for a train robbery. Phillips does 20 months for the crime and, on leaving jail, with the help of his cellmate Rees and some powerful refrigeration equipment (and without the help of his ineffectual girlfriend Marlowe) forces Pastell to sign a confession to all his crimes.The script's no masterpiece but what really lets the movie down is the acting. Pastell is quite good and West, as his floozy, is perfectly adequate, but most of the rest are of amateur-theatrical standard.
Michael **ENDING SPOILER(ISH)**Second feature idiocy in which Phillips is an aspiring journalist who inconveniently finds himself accused of a train robbery. With the help of his girlfriend, several rusty cans of worms are opened on the tracks to proving himself innocent.The jury were also unanimous on Phillips' co-screenwriting ability it would seem, as he had not been given the chance to do so before this and was afforded even less chance to do so afterwards.
Johnk-5 This was shown in UK TV in the middle of the night recently (Dec 1998) and I was transfixed by its amateurishness. The fight scenes were so unconvincing, I think I could have arranged them and the script was cliche ridden.It's worth seeing just to see how bad it is.
