Saboteur

Saboteur

Robert Cummings stars in this Hitchcock movie. 1942. Director: Alfred Hitchcock.
During World War II, there's a fire in an aircraft factory which causes the death of a friend to the factory worker Barry Kane (Robert Cummings). Barry is accused for starting the fire, but he knows that it was a man that he only knows as Fry (Norman Lloyd).
Barry is chased by the police that thinks that he's the guitly man for the fire. But Barry knows that it was Fry, so starts chasing him hoping to get to him before being caught himself. Will he make it?
This Hitchcock picture is sometimes incoherent which makes it a bit boring, because when you don't understand what's happening, it's not so especially fun. It's not a bad movie at all, but not always what I would call a cliffhanger.
The scenes at the Statue of Liberty are pretty cool even though it sometimes looks faked. But I can be indulgent about that, I don't expect that they would really shoot it up there.
