The Gentle Trap (1960) Directed by Charles Saunders

(Review originally written at 13 February 2005)

Are we sure that Ed Wood somehow didn't directed this? The movie's style and storytelling is just as bad as in an Ed Wood movie sadly.

The movie was released in 1960 but I've seen movies that were made 30 years earlier that style had a better and more professional looking visual style. Sadly London, in this movie ain't got such an atmosphere as for instance New York or Chicago do in movies from the same genre.

This is really one of those movies that makes you wonder; why did I even watched this in the first place? It's a pointless movie with a pointless literal and figural, black and white story. The acting is bad and the fights are over the top and hilarious to watch for the wrong reason.

It's hard to say anything about this movie. It's short and the story is way too weak to say any thing thought-full about.

Really not worth your time.

3/10
