Double Indemnity (1944) - 8/10

Classic film noir is very much a guilty pleasure of mine. This has all the tropes one would expect from the genre but its not a hard nosed detective instead we get the culprits as the protagonist. This allows us tto drift into a Crima and Punishment/Tell Tale Heart space. The dialogue is sharp and beats are compelling. I really enjoyed this and i think for people who arent necessarily into this peroid of film or genre if they were to like anything of this ilk this film would be one I'd recommend to try and sway them.
