After a few problems with R-A mail box, I hope this message
will go through---
Just to mention that on cable TV I saw this week a rather
good film we could qualify as "B Noir": NO ALIBI
It's a Canadian film (1999) I think, director: Bruce Pittman
main actors: Dean Cain and Eric Roberts. Good story, even if
rather traditional, very good photography for this class of
film.
The only drawback were the main actors. Even if their
performance is "honorable" they did not extract all the
possibilities from their characters. With some better acting
this film could have hit a high level of achievement. But
still definitely worth to watch.
And best of all: no "Tarentinesque" attempt to be
unnecessarily offbeat or to be a self-parody. And no
explosions!! A real treat.
