Silent crime cinema. The positives here are that the cinematography is decent, making good use of the grim and misty setting, and that there aren't too many intertitles. The story is simple enough, and the dialogues aren't all that deep or complex, so the less time spent reading, the better.
The soundtrack is ill-fitting though, and the story isn't all that interesting. The characters are quite basic, the romances are frivolous, and the outcome is predictable. It's a good thing then that the film is quite short and that the pacing is decent. It's a decent enough silent, but not a memorable film.
