One of the first crime movies, and still one of the best, 27 July 2000
8/10
Author: mikael.finsberg from Göteborg, Sweden

One of the first, and still one of the greatest of all time crime movies. If only the manuscript writers and directors of today would make up a story which is so complex and exciting like this one. I love the sceneries which are so realistic and yet so absurd, almost like the ones in "Doctor Caligari".
