   In Crossroads, William Powell is a French diplomat who has been living with amnesia for some twenty years, so when someone tries to make him pay a substantial debt he knows nothing about, it becomes a case of uncertain identity. Is he who he claims he is, or a criminal on the run? The story almost immediately goes in an unexpected direction, and I like that it's because our lead is too smart for the situation. That'll be the ultimate theme of this is he/isn't he mystery, which is good at throwing twists, but perhaps not as good as revealing its mysteries. I felt like every reveal was clunky and awkward, lacked artistry. Instead of a shock, we're left with a matter-of-fact confirmation of one of the things we might have suspected all along, and if we didn't, it makes us feel like we really should have. Still, Powell, Hedy Lamarr, Basil Rathbone, even the smaller parts, all great fun to watch in this. 4 years ago
