D.O.A. (2K)

A man walks into a police station to report a murder — his own. D.O.A. (1950) follows Frank Bigelow, a small-town accountant who heads to San Francisco for a brief escape — and stumbles into a nightmare. After learning he has only days to live, Frank plunges into a desperate search through a haze of shady businessmen, duplicitous lovers, and buried secrets to uncover the truth before time runs out. Tension coils tighter with every reveal, as the case expands into something far more lethal than he ever imagined. A landmark in film noir, D.O.A. turns the classic detective story inside out — the victim becomes the investigator, and every second is borrowed time.
