Review of Rope

Rope (1948)
3/10
The Ratings Can't Be True!

This is simply woeful.

The story is absurd, all elements of 'Rupert's' deductive reasoning are spurious at best.

The acting is sub par even from the brilliant James Stewart. The 'Philip' character appears to be channelling Captain Kirk (courtesy of a time machine) in an incredibly hammy and wooden performance.

I think viewers need to remove the rose coloured glasses of 'Hitchcock' and just watch it for the movie it is.

Hitchcock is clearly capable of greatness but this was not it!
