Sinekatalog’s take
A paroled man comes back to his Florida town and drifts into an affair with his best friend's wife, who is also the sheriff. Humid, slow-burning and moody, the film trades suspense for atmosphere, and suits patient neo-noir viewers.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
