Review

Director Christian Otjen shows Hitchcock-like chops in the suspenseful Lady in the Box (2001), a film noir set in contemporary Milwaukee. Darren E. Burrows stars as Jerry, a down-on-his-luck saloon keeper with a demanding girlfriend (Paige Rowland) and a failing bar to boot. When Jerry arrives home to discover that his girlfriend’s been murdered, he doesn’t figure that things can get much worse. What he doesn’t expect is that the killer (Mark Sheppard) has plans to frame him for the deed, and that a tidy blackmail sum is all that stands between Jerry and an eternity behind bars. Femme fatale Rowland is killed off fairly early, but she makes a surprising (and well-received) comeback later in the film. No box can contain this broad--her perfect-ten body’s just itching to be free.
