A noir with light western influences. It's my two least favorite genres combined, but it's not as terrible as I'd feared. Not that this was any good, the performances were very dim, the pacing was too slow and the plot was cookie-cutter, but at least the mix of genres brought something new.
The film's a bit longer than most noirs, which works against it, but the build-up to the finale isn't the worst and the fact that the lead isn't dealing with hard-boiled city gangsters made things a bit more interesting. But it's all minor compared to the boredom I was experiencing throughout the film.
