Cool, Classy, Razor Sharp Film Noir! This is a cut far above your standard British gangster movie, it’s oozing with style, I can’t believe how much I enjoyed it. Excellent action scenes and good performances all round, this movie is a must-see!
Jack Falls opens in Amsterdam with the attempted assassination of a man by a sniper’s rifle. This unlucky guy is the titular Jack Adleth (Simon Phillips), who, despite being technically dead for a quite a few minutes, survives; although he now suffers from inconvenient hallucinations about his dead friend Sid and love of his life Erin. The former police officer returns to London and, predictably enough, spends the rest of the film seeking revenge against criminals on both side of the law, both for his own brush with death and for the murders of Sid and Erin.
