"A great humane crime classic with style that is basically film noir in style. This is propably Lang's most visually accomplished work in terms of camerawork and play with shadows. "

With both cops and criminals in pursuit, the murderer soon realizes that people are on his trail, sending him into a tense, panicked attempt to escape justice. "

"20.11. Watching this classic again reminded me how innovative and huge it was at the time of its release. Take the use of sound for example, no music was used, but the silence sets the mood and the murderer's presence is made known only by whistling. The camera movements are so subtle and well made you'd think they were common back in the day, but nope. That because the silencing technique at the time was so new and poor they usually couldn't use any cranes or other machinery but stand still, s"
