Ruthless

I found a review for the Double Indemnity film that caught my eye. The site is named "Ruthlessreviews.com", harsh criticism is some what amusing. With that site title i was expecting a more harsh criticized review, but was shocked. The review by Matt Cale seems like a dream for the director, Billy Wilder. Matt claims for The Double Indemnity to be "The ultimate and best Film Noir and deserves a Nobel Prize". I was hoping for at least some criticism with how some of the scenes went and the flaws.

It's most likely because this is the first old film that i have seen and the styles and acting in unfamiliar to me. It seems over acted.

Walters wedding ring definitely distracting, i noticed it throughout the film multiple time and i caught myself staring at it more than him. Also, it look as if Phyllis is wearing a wig? i'm not too sure but it's pretty unrealistic.

Just some of my opinions, but i feel as if i am too used to how movies are now, that i don't grasp the quality of how they were back then.

  1. Hi Stacey. I'm glad to hear that I wasnt the only one who was unhappy with the review we found. I just didnt agree with mine. It was kind-of in "left field." I get the feeling you felt the same way about yours. Maybe next time we search, we will find something that we can be happy with.
