A lawyer is asked to come to the police station to clear up a few loose ends in his witness report of a foul murder.
Remake of Garde a vue: a murder mystery staged as a closed-room
drama with the two male leads playing at their best, but still can't
make the ending more believable - the original managed that much better.
On renewed viewing: I still agree with my initial opinion, the performances make it quite watchable.
Halliwell (no star): "Disappointing duel between two fine actors, who
are not helped by the hyperkinetic style of the director. The result is
much less compelling than the French original The Inquisitor/Garde a
vue."
Maltin**1/2: "Hopkins uses some imaginative techniques, and the two
leads are excellent, as usual, but overall it's routine and familiar."
