Dennis Schwartz

A downbeat plot hole filled crime thriller that's surprisingly entertaining despite its

A sluggish and implausible crime-and-suspense melodrama in soap-opera vein...

Turner was dressed in some eye-catching Jean Louis gowns, and the film employed some beautiful sets, but neither of these flashy touches could conceal Portrait in Black's contrived plot.

A film with a plot so full of holes that it's hard to stop the cast falling through them.
