A privet detective running from his past hoping it will stay buried it’s funny how a movie full us of the noir fundamentals as in character, cinematography and story you captivated by how simple the story starts but you see how much such simplicity caries so much weight as you see Jeff happiness turn to a bitter sorrow as he haves no idea how to get out without making the ultimate sacrifice.

It works as a noir with a simple but powerful cinematography that can carry much emotion with light and shadow playing a character its self giving an immersible ambiance to the scene that give you an extra kick of emotion it’s a movie that hits every point when it comes to noir story telling with a surprising ending that you do see coming with good acting flawed character relatable character I would say Out of the Past is one of the best noir films out there a classic in its own right
