Will G @Wgoodeve 06/29/2025 A great noir movie. There was romance and drama. There was a murder and it was solved. I enjoyed the music. It was made by Paramount and I’ve been there before with my Dad. See more Insomniac X @RT03001349 01/28/2025 A well-acted thriller with plotting and pacing as fine tuned as the gears of its eponymous clock. Starts with a clever premise and successfully builds on it through complications and escalating tension. The third act reaches a frenzy that feels almost farcical, but lands on a gripping and powerful climax. Charles Laughton, Ray Milland, and George Macready are all at the height of their powers here. See more Alec B @Alec97 11/05/2024 A delightfully strange little noir. There are solid performances all around but its the near dystopian mid century building that's the real star of the movie. Its like an Ayn Rand fever dream. Incredible stuff. See more nick s @Nick_S 10/05/2024 Can't argue with the directing as it flowed nicely and was great moment by moment. But TBH I wasn't enamoured with the storyline & plot elements. It seemed like one of those mysteries that read well in a book but didn't translate into the real world so well. See more Simon L @RT86986324 08/16/2023 Tension is consistently heightened along it's character-driven plot until the climax near the end. This is a truly great classic suspense film. My wife and I watched it together and both of us loved it. At that time I had already watched the re-make "No way out" made in 1987. I appreciate this original version better for it's crisp story telling with less distractions. See more steve d @RT35616104 01/09/2023 A thrilless thriller that has aged terribly.
