Like a collective reticulum, Sidney Lumet delivers a multi-layered, brilliantly acted crime noir that is directed like an experimental film, but placed so well together that it glues your eye to the screen until the bittersweet end. Personally, I found some annoying editing, some bad casting, and the ending to be a bit too open-ended, but as the story unfolded, there was nothing really to complain about. It's a little mellow masterpiece that makes you realize how far a bad idea can take you (and not in a good way). 8.1/10.
