This one wasn't bad, although Bailey's fate was pretty much predictable the moment he admitted to Bliss he couldn't promise he wouldn't go to the cops. Ya don't tell a group of people harboring a murder secret that you're a loose cannon. Bailey was actually pretty stupid throughout the whole thing, not to mention, as Bliss pointed out, something of a hypocrite. First, he put impressing his boss over fidelity to his wife. And it seemed pretty clear that he would have never admitted anything to her had Kellerman's blackmail never happened--even when it did, he held off saying anything. Then, as Bliss mentioned, he didn't rat out Kellerman to the cops because it served his purpose not to but he didn't consider Bliss a threat at that point and considered squealing on him because he didn't think he would lose anything by doing so. Then, knowing what he knew about the deadly dozen, he still was stupid enough to meet with Bliss at the bar.

I found myself not really having much sympathy for Bailey. Maybe he was supposed to be the "good" guy to root for but I thought him rather idiotic and someone whose sense of morality seemed to come into play more with regard to how it would affect him. Even his ultimate confession to his wife had more to do with relieving his conscience and loosening the blackmail stranglehold on him than it being out of respect for her.

I would probably give this one a 3.5 out of 5. It was well-acted and the concept of a group of strangers being complicitous in the "perfect crime" is interesting. But the onset of Bailey being blackmailed and ultimately sent to his demise by Bliss was predictable long before it happened.
