Freelance (1971)

Unjustly forgotten Brit-crime flick plays more like a character study than a plot description would let on. (For the record, it's about a con man who gets himself into hot water when he witnesses a gangland hit.) Modest but engaging, with a solid performance from Ian McShane (whom I recently saw for about fifteen minutes in the unendurable Pussycat, Pussycat, I Love You), this is a film that deserves to be rediscovered.

Grade: B
