(I'm pretty sure that shot's not actually in the movie.) Border noir is one of my favorite subgenres, and after a slow start this certainly does it justice. One great setpiece (I'm not sure that's the right word) after another, especially their first hotel and the beach where they have to land their plane after it runs out of gas. And a few distinctly anti-teleological, decidedly awesome touches that I'm not sure who included or how they got into a studio B-movie. Something stops it from being great, but it's enough to rejuvenate my interest in noir.
