7/10.
M is Peter Lorre's first real role, and it's a shocker. He plays child murderer Hans Beckert, who roams the German streets. The police and media frenzy do no good, so criminals themselves get in on the "fun". It takes its sweet time getting started, but it picks up about halfway through to a truly horrifying conclusion with a great acting performance by Lorre. His whistling of the "Hall of the Mountain King" is even scary, which makes a haunting atmosphere. However, the first hour or so is quite dull, and the German's harsh on the ears. But as long as you can survive the beginning, you'll be able to appreciate the movie in general at the end, as well as the rest of the movie.
Not Rated.
