Audience Reviews for Flaxy Martin

Dec 18, 2015

Nothing really was happening in this movie & just when I was about to give up & turn it off, the lawyer takes the murder rap for his girlfriend, (Who would do that?!) thinks he can get away with it but gets set up during the trial.I thought after that, I have to see how he gets himself out of this.That was the most exciting thing to happen in Flaxy Martin.I felt like it was all downhill from then on & Flaxy Martin became just another movie to add to my watchlist.I feel like if I decided then & there to turn it off, I wouldn't have missed anything at all.I was really disappointed because after almost giving up on the movie then being glad I didn't give up on it & then being disappointed again was a bummer.It felt like a total waste of time.Maybe you'll like Flaxy Martin but I didn't

Decent little noir with a good cast of Warners standbys. For being the title character Virginia's screen time is rather limited.
