Reception[edit]
The Hideout combines elements of crime film, drama and thriller and has been described as a noir; the Film Noir German website Der.Film.Noir.de described it as follows: "The Hide-Out was clearly made in the film noir tradition from the USA. It's a mediocre B-film at best, which you can safely skip as a cineaste, but which a connoisseur of British classic films won't be particularly annoyed about."[5]
