The Accused (1949)
8/10
Very nice noir
14 September 2022
Great acting in a compelling story. Very interesting premise, where we start with the actual crime and follow the killer in the aftermath. Keeps the attention and some tension throughout and wraps up nicely in the end.

Plot 5/5 Characters 3/5: Looking back on it, even with the psychology babble, the characters seemed rather one-dimensional. (Or maybe just subordinate to the plot.) Direction 4/5: Not bad, but not extra-ordinary either.

Score 2/5: Rather bland at times.

Cinematography 4/5 Editing 5/5 Pace 5/5 Dialogue 5/5: Great writing overall.

Altogether a very enjoyable movie. Maybe more a detective than a noir, but with a nice cast.
