Low budget retro noir. Not a classic noir story line but pulls in from various influences of the time, gumshoe detective, red menace, murder and double dealing. Black and white cinematography captures the mood pretty well with diffuse lighting, shadows and angles. Acting is a little uneven but overall the quality was much like what you would find in a similar film from that era. If you enjoy the older films of which this is derivative, then you will probably find Blackout worth a look.
