Movie Reviews of Forgotten Noir Collector's Set 3

Movie Review: Didn't make the cut for me
Summary: 2 Stars

I bought this because of the words FILM NOIR and the low price for 9 movies. I thought I'd be watching these more than once, but I was wrong. I judge a movie many ways but one big thing I look for is repeatability. I don't ever want to see these again.

Some were drawn out like RingSide, which didn't have much of a story so you watch long boring rounds of bad boxing. Same for Hi-Jacked, except this time it's scenes of driving (although I did like seeing Sid Melton). Another big loser is Danger Zone, obviously 2 half-hour plots for television put together. The Big Chase was a short 3D movie with a non-speaking Lon Chaney stuffed into an hour format. Dull.

There are some familiar faces but overall this is just not up to good standards. The films are in good condition at least but there is nothing to give this package a higher rating. The acting, plots, direction, etc. are just mediocre. True, it is 50's black and white "noir" crime dramas but that doesn't mean it's good noir. I'll probably pass on the other collections just because of this one experience.
