This is a period piece that fails to evoke either a time or place, period. The DP is a hack. Who thought it was a good idea to use overt wide-angle lens and hand-held quasi-GoPros in a movie set in the late 1940's? Seriously?!? Really wanted to like this film, but there was no effort to give clues to draw in the viewer to solve the crime. The protagonist just rattles off facts that were never revealed in whole or in part. It's as if the characters are participating in a narrative that is not being shown to us: the actual viewing audience. This is a muddle mess filmed by a second rate cinematographer. Don't bother.
