I found the beginning quite intriguing, but in my opinion the story becomes quite ridiculous in the middle part, and the acting more and more theatrical, Somehow this film has all one needs for a B-movie, so I regard it as the first B-movie ever.
shareIt's so interesting that you would say that, because I have just been thinking that in a sense, this might be the first A-movie ever. I hope that doesn't sound snarky. It's just a different angle I'm reporting from.
