Plot: Swann manages to escape from prison and hides out from the cops in his ex's garden. She finds him there and decides to help him out, even though she's now married to a stand-out, though slightly dull guy. He has a son and two beautiful daughters, and Swann has a bad influence on them.

The British noirs aren't that different from the US ones. They are heavily focused on dialogue and whatever action there is looks crummy and forced. The performances were slightly better than usual, but when the film itself isn't all that interesting, it doesn't make much of a difference.
The story is incredibly slow to start and the conversations are dull. The characters aren't that interesting either and the setup is basic. It's just one long wait until the finale, which ramps things up a little, but not enough to wake me from my half-slumber. At least most of these noirs are short, which is often their only redeeming quality.
