Certainly not the worst noir I've seen. The main reason for that is Edwards' part. His performance is solid enough, but it's the calm and collected vibe emanating from his character that is quite interesting. It slips away during the second half of the film, but the way there was quite amusing.
The rather chill soundtrack adds to the atmosphere too, giving the film a somewhat ironic undertone. The plot is simple though and the rest of the cast isn't quite as good. But the film is short, it's different enough from other noirs and it's way more entertaining than other films of its kind.
