Finders Keepers
searchanddestroy-15 April 2009
Warning: Spoilers
The usual UK programmer starring an US star - Richard Arlen. The tale of an American sailor who finds a package near his boat, on a harbor, and who decides to keep it for him. But, of course, he doesn't know what's inside...

That's when his problems begin. He is confronted with a bunch of hoodlums who want to recover what seem to belong to them. No one knows what's inside the package. But every one in the audience has guessed that is not powder milk...It's a well paced and not boring little UK thriller. Action sequences are worth those in US films of this time. The car chase at the end, in the pool of London, in the middle of warehouses, is pretty good too.

In short, an acceptable Monty Tully movie. He, perhaps, has done better, but he has also done worse.

Creaky

Difficult to know what is more creaky Richard Arlen or the plot.The plot is to do with the theft of drugs.The plot itself is slightly absurd wiith most of the action taking place at the desk of Donald Houston,who is the director of an insurance company who is paying out for the thefts.Richard Arlen is well past his prime.Michael Balfour plays his usual villain..
