The Red Menace

Nicely shot film. Beautiful black and white gives way to a colour sequence that pops after 4 or so minutes in black and white land. For me, a little too much of a one gag story... Intense dramatic film, wondering where it's going, then, bang, pull back and reveal it's a film set in a film. Too predictable if you read their genre line. Good performances, and the art direction on that final film crew scene was awesome.

A solid film. Beautifully shot, the visuals were tops. Although the ending was predictable (and in any other context without "FILM WITHIN A FILM" on the title screen, it would have worked wonderfully), it was carried out nicely.
