Der freundliche, aber etwas spießige Carl Verloc ist Geschäftsführer eines kleinen Kinos im London der Vorkriegszeit. Mit seiner jungen Frau Sylvia und deren kleinem Bruder lebt er in beschaulichen Verhältnissen. Was seine Frau nicht weiß: Das Kino dient lediglich zur Tarnung, um mit Terror und Sabotageakten das öffentliche Leben in England zu stören. Doch die Polizei hat bereits Verdacht geschöpft. Als Gemüsehändler getarnt überwacht der Kriminalbeamte Ted Spencer das Kino und kommt auch Sylvia näher. Bei einem von Verloc initiierten Bombenanschlag kommt es schließlich zur Katastrophe …
Heute keine Spielzeiten für Sabotage in Los Angeles.
This shit is absolutely cold blooded.
I wasn't expecting much from this one but I genuinely loved it. This is a brilliant exercise in suspense as Hitchcock squeezes you until you're dry at certain unforgettable moments. Moments that are boosted by brilliant editing. The man makes directing thrillers look like a walk in the park. Sabotage is the opposite of Hitchcock's country traversing thrillers as it is primarily shot in one location. I found this to be rather refreshing with a sinister plot on such a small scale. This film hardly feels dated at all and I think it holds up very well. Sabotage is a quick entertaining blast that I intend to come back to.Hitchcock Ranked List
