Touch of Evil (1958)

Artfully Filmed But Flat, Drab Characters


Well I was hoping and expecting more from this film. Nothing happened to capture my interest nor did any one of the flat drab characters got me interested. I confess I had to keep fast-forwarding, the stopping to watch then fast-forward more. Nothing I saw held my interest.

On the upside the film is artfully filmed - very beautiful to look at while my mind kept drifting off and away from an uninteresting story.

I know there must be something to this film, but for the life of me I can't get into it. I'm sure I'll watch the DVD again sometime and give it another try on another day. Right now all I can see is a very nicely filmed movie that is overrated.

2/10
