Sitting Target

About This Movie

Sitting Target is a gritty little gem from the early '70s. Douglas Hickox creates this tense atmosphere that really hangs over the film. The pacing is relentless, and you get this deep sense of despair as Harry Lomart, played with raw intensity, navigates the dark underbelly of crime and betrayal. The whole prison setting feels claustrophobic, enhancing that sense of entrapment. And then there's Pat, his wife, who brings a twist that turns everything upside down. The performances are striking, capturing a blend of desperation and brutality. It’s a raw look at loyalty and the consequences of choices made while locked away. The practical effects, while subtle, add to the film’s overall grittiness. Definitely a film that leaves an impression.
