Shoot the Piano Player

A pretty cool take on the film noir genre. Nothing very special, but enjoyable enough. Here's an extra sentence to make this review a bit longer.

It's in the style of classic American noir but throws in a sense of humor and some zany hijinks with the two kidnappers. A lot of fun, impeccably shot, and reminds me that I need to seek out some more Truffaut.

A fine movie. Well-paced, good acting, inventive technique, interesting story.

"Tirez sur le pianiste" is simply perfect, has some very rememberable scenes, especially the one where charlie and lena are kidnapped by the two gangsters (in the car - that's so good). Of course not Truffaut's best film, but still a "must see".

Have they shot him yet?
