good film by the great Fred Walton...but slightly confusing.
great premise,some lovely Fred Walton touches (lingering shots at ordinary objects to create suspense,dialogue about fear,violence,the human condition etc,), a good thriller all round, but some slighly confusing elements.
The killer kissing the corpse goodbye at his house at the beginning (who was she ?),the monkeys (in the penthouse/office...i read they were used for experiments...for what ? and i dont recall this being explained in the film.
Kathleens character smashing glass to get through locked doors...why didnt she just smash the glass doors at the entrance of the building ? at one point she writes HELP on the glass panel...i kept thinking why doesnt she just smash it. and the espionage angle isnt explained in any detail,the guy just says ' im investigating espionage'...for WHAT ?.
still....a good thriller from a great writer/director. it reminded me of an old THRILLER (70s UK tv,mystery,suspense series)episode.
