The title makes this sound like a film noir thriller but in fact it turns out to be an engaging little character study about a stamp collector by day and assassin by night. It's lifted by the presence of the excellent and underrated Sydney Tafler as the lead - he's typically good in the part, and entirely sympathetic - alongside a script which focuses on the characterisation throughout, thus making it more engrossing than most.
