Whoever wrote the synopsis, they did a fine job in making the movie interesting. And it is, only on paper.

Dark Figure of Crime is quite a weak movie. It aims too high to be this mysterious thriller but falls short of the mark by quite a lot; the plot is bland and the twist is merely a flick; the acting is nothing to commend, and the editing and direction are jaunty and clumsy at best.

If you would like a brainless weekend movie or a way to pass the time, this would be for you. If you are familiar with the genre, you'd be as bored as I was. Perhaps it would be a better experience for those who are not acquainted with the type. It does not have any explicit sexual scene, so you could watch it with the adults of the family.
