... for his next killing. It also doesn't seem sure what it wants to be. At first it feels like it's setting up to be a typical giallo, as it initially hides the killer's identity and throws suspicion on other characters. But the revelation that Robert is the killer, and why he's doing it, comes after 20 minutes, far too early to be considered a twist. The film is made without much flair, it must be said. There's one really nice shot during a sequence set in Venice, but otherwise this is as bog-standard as they come. The...more
