it's an impressive film, never dull, although sometimes the various details feel a bit extraneous. Still, as crime movies go, it's disturbing, chilling, and sometimes hilarious. The characters are well developed.

The true mystery of Jigsaw is why this exemplary movie isnt more well-known.

A perfectly acceptable police procedural often classified as a Brit Noir.

This is quite a sophisticated little murder mystery that sees Jack Warner and Ronald Lewis team up to investigate the murder of a woman. As the title suggests, they start with a mess of clues and suspects and have to sift through the seedier side of England's south coast with it's curious collection of characters - including an on-form Michael Goodliffe ("Burchard") and Yolanda Donlan ("Jean"). The writing and direction are taut and well paced with the two leads keeping it interesting - if, perhaps, just a bit too detailed - as they hone in on their culprit. As afternoon features go - this is a better example with a solid adaptation of Hilary Waugh's original novel.
