A film that feels as though in its heart of hearts wants to be sci fi and should be sci fi but is a crime thriller. Elizabeth Allan has quite a feminist part as a shrink ("call me doctor not ma'am") who treats dangerous killer Maxwell Reed. Reed is quite good, he's not required to speak that much, and looks sweaty and stressed.
Allan was in her forties her ex husband played by Patrick Barr is also old so this has quite old leads for the time which gives it a point of difference. So too does the fact the plot involves corruption of unions.
It moves fast, it could have done with a bit of... zing, I guess, but is a decent B.
