Review of The Man Who Wouldn't Talk

It is a tribute to Anna Negle that it was possible to suspend disbelief at all during the film. We are expected to accept the Crown introducing an hysterical prostitute as a surprise (it certainly would have been) witness when the jury was already convicted of the guilt of the accused. To no one's surprise the defence demand to visit the prositutes flat to check her evidence. THe witness hasn't bothered to do anything about the bullet hole in her bedroom window or the bullet embedded in her wall which turns the case. Even more miraculously the jury then claim to have heard enough evidence to stop the case before the accused has to reveal that he was on a secret CIA mission, as they do. I started watching the film because the cast had a gravitas which was totally at odds with the preposterous plot. In the end the movie is just risible. Please don't waste your time by watching.
