Compared to some other acclaimed classics that didn't really do it for me, Double Indemnity is everything I was expecting from a classic film noir. It has all the tropes and stereotypes of the genre in the best of ways; it's truly enjoyable when you consider it is one of the movies, if not THE movie that started all of it! Watching it today, it's not hard to guess a lot of what will happen, but it still managed to surprise me here and there, which is a testament to its standing the test of time. And some of the elements that do make it a product of its time are now strangely endearing. All in all, recommended to the new generation!
