    my first Film Noir... i very much like it. i enjoy Humphrey Bogart's acting in it... he's very smooth in his delivery. and yeah, that twist was so well formed shh...

    I hate to used cliches, but much as I loved the movie, the book was better. IT was edgier (the torture scenes there were dropped from the movie, for example).
