Decoy
Posted by martinteller on April 25, 2010
Cheap as dirt, over-the-top pulp with an insane premise but a lot of spunk. The score is overbearing, the script is a bit creaky, and the cinematography is entirely unremarkable. But Jean Gillie (who died tragically young) is so vicious, and even gleefully giddy, as the femme fatale that she elevates the entire picture. This really could have been something special with a little more care, but as it is it’s an entertaining, hard-boiled diversion. Rating: 7
