Review of Cornered

Cornered (1945)
7/10
decent little movie
19 March 2005
Sometimes I'm watching a movie and I think, wait, have I seen this before? This seems familiar. And then something else happens and I think, I don't remember that. And the whole movie I'm going back and forth. Cornered is one of those movies. Either I saw it years ago, which is probably the case, or it's a lot like a movie I've seen before.

I was never totally sucked into this movie, in part because I kept thinking, I've seen this before, it's not worth seeing twice. The best thing about it is Powell, who is effective as a world weary, bitter man. And Slezak is always good. It is also somewhat interesting to see a Canadian bull in a china shop instead of the usual American bull in a china shop. Worth watching once, anyway.
