Capotondi's nerve-shredding puzzler will delight fans of Hitchcock and Polanski.
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune

"The Double Hour" is a tremendously entertaining take on film noir, with all the usual elements of the genre in play - crime, death, possibly murder and doomed romance. I think.
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic
Fresh
A twisty Italian thriller that takes some liberties with its now-you-see-'em/now-you-don't plot points, but no matter; the way director Giuseppe Capotondi keeps us guessing is deliciously, maliciously deft.
Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News

A sly, triple twist of a film, this Italian intrigue is almost never what it seems, although everything ends up making perfect sense eventually. Along the way, though, it's slippery stuff.
