This is a dull film with charmless leads. It was a waste of time to make, let alone watch. It breaks the first rule of noir: there must be a treacherous femme fatale to induce the protagonist to the dark side. This film is mostly filler with dull scenes of family life and detectives going in circles. The ending simplistic to the point of being amateurish. There us little drama and no suspense. You just sit and wait for something to happen. This short B film feels three hours long.
