Missed opportunity, as the premise could make for a decent little melodrama or thriller. The choice to have the whole thing framed as a flashback by the man we already know prevents any harm is totally inexplicable and drains all of the events of any kind of suspense. I'm often skeptical of this device, but sometimes it makes sense. It's especially bad here. There is also too little focus on the executioner character. Just some odd choices.

Low budget crime drama which wasn't terrible, but not terribly exciting either. Disgraced Lionel Atwill takes care of the storytelling, which becomes it's foundation when little else helps elevate the experience.
