(NOIR) Payroll - 1961 *



I can't say there was anything credible about this movie, and I certainly didn't enjoy myself sitting through it. I found the whole thing ridiculous, over the top, and to top it off just badly acted. Billie Whitelaw and Francoise Prevost were two especially irritating leads who made me want to switch off everytime they sauntered into the scenes. The movie is not a noir, not a revenge or a heist movie, it's just pretty awful. And I wasn't even entranced by the 1960s shots of London. It was a blasted relief to get through this and to be honest I think I would've had more fun watching a 90s horror movie.
