🎬 MovieFinder's Take

De Palma's feature debut constructs a clever formal puzzle, relying on a triple-perspective narrative of the same crime. It explores the malleability of truth through the lenses of noir, slapstick, and grindhouse aesthetics, treating the film set as a playground for cinematic deconstruction.

What lingers after the final reel is the playful, almost academic dismantling of genre mechanics, where every stylistic choice feels both mischievous and meticulously planned. A delight for those who enjoy seeing the gears of suspense turn in plain sight. — MovieFinder Editorial
