In yet another lesson to mind your own business: William Powell lives in an
apartment and he hears his downstairs neighbor's boyfriend beating the crap out
of her. Like a moron he goes to investigate, but when he opens his front
door the woman comes barreling down the stairs and right into his open door with
the boyfriend right on her tail. A fight breaks out and in the confusion
the boyfriend falls out the window to his death. The chick splits and the
coppers arrest Powell for murder! Without any witnesses to prove his
innocence Powell is convicted and sentenced to life in prison. Three years
later Powell stages a daring escape and now he must prove his innocence before
the law catch up to him.
At only 69 minutes, SHADOW OF THE LAW doesn't mess around. The pace is
quick, the acting is pretty good and that scene with the machinery! Holy
shit! I actually said "Holy shit!" out loud. But just because I
enjoyed it doesn't mean that you should watch it. I'm a professional and I
have a much higher tolerance to movie induced pain and boredom than you
do. Average humans would probably be bored to tears by SOTL, but I liked
it and enjoyed seeing Powell one the run 11 years before he was on the run in
the comedic
LOVE CRAZY.
Worth watching for Powell fans.
