4-star movie: Odd Man Out
Odd Man Out
Director: Carol Reed
1947
This was one of the harder-to-find movies on the list, but I was lucky enough to find a downloadable version. It takes place in an unnamed Northern Ireland city, where a member of an unnamed organization (just called the Organization) has been ordered to commit a robbery to raise funds. It all goes wrong, and the viewpoint character is injured. The rest of the movie shows his hallucination-tainted journey through the city, until he reaches the woman who is in love with him (it's not clear whether it's mutual). She chooses for both of them to commit suicide by cop rather than let him go to prison or the gallows.
