When something goes wrong, it goes completely wrong. An unsuccessful person becomes even more unsuccessful because that's just how luck plays out. You can tell it's a cheap film, especially when you think about it for a moment. Otherwise, it's a great example of film noir with excellent classic elements of the genre. Especially the shadows and the voice-over are excellent. ()
If you feel that better times are just around the corner, Murphy's Law will quickly correct you. The cynical narration by the protagonist well underlines the irony of fate, when a person, despite their best efforts, finds themselves going off in the wrong direction, and from which there is no return.
