T FOR TROUBLE

He looks a bit like Burke from Aliens!

This is a really good film. Its tense atmosphere rivals Hitchcock, and the feeling of hopelessness is very strong. The only bad points are,the music,the fact we never see what happens to that woman who was shot, I think that it was strange just to abandon her character like that, and the ending is far too abrupt. I won't spoil it, but you will think that there should be more! 50%plum.
