Highlights:
- Brian de Palma's story has all that needs to be in a suspense thriller and the screenplay is racy without any branch-offs which is a plus.
- The camera angles employed, Bernard Herrmann's music and some the split-screen method of showing the action suit the film's tempo perfectly.
- The performance of the Danielle twin and that of the writer are notably good.
Lowlights:
It wouldn't have taken so much to find the suspect if the dead man was found missing by his family. That angle is totally missing.
Delivers substantial suspense resembling Hitchcock's style.
