Typical of its low-budget fraternity, this is sadly a flat, would-be thriller that lacks any real tension or interest. It features all the usual stock ingredients of the genre - stereotyped, cardboard characters and motifs (cops in trilby hats, villains whose HQ is fronted by a coffee bar, numerous dolly birds called Ruby, Angel and so on who have very little to do, a final, obligatory, chase and punch-up) and the well-worn plot of innocent(ish) hero on the run from both cops and robbers.
Some very well acted scenes. William Lucas and Zena Walker play off each other wonderfully.
THE MARKED ONE is a low rent British crime feature from the prolific Francis Searle, a man who always attempted to make the best of his limited resources and talents. This has interesting locations and a casting director with a good eye for interesting faces.
This is a British Crime thriller which manages to long outstay its welcome despite the fact that it only lasts just over one hour.Lucas plays a lorry driver who is recently out of prison.
