  Frank Bigelow is an accountant living on borrowed time. Someone has slipped luminous toxin into his bourbon and now he has just a few days to solve his own murder. <i>D.O.A.</i> is over-acted, over-scripted and under-appreciated. An absolute delight!

  An extremely exciting, suspenseful movie, a really good movie.

  Directed by a cinematographer, and it shows. One of the best looking noirs filmed in high contrast black and white, and Edmond O'Brien is interestingly cast out of his usual whiter than white type. The only blemish is the bizarre use of a comedy flute noise every time he encounters a member of the opposite sex, which as you can imagine, does not sit very well with the otherwise grimly dark atmosphere. A great concept, well executed, and far better than the gimmicky remake.

  It's always fun to watch a character with nothing left to lose in action.

  Age has done a real number on it, but "D.O.A." still stands as one of the great B noirs. Edmond O'Brien is pitch-perfect as Frank Bigelow, a man put up to the dubious task of solving his own murder. The plot is expertly messy and unravels in a fun yet ingenious way and the acting is top-notch. Even if it isn't pretty to look at it, "D.O.A." is solid entertainment.

  A film with a classically great hook: a man who has solved his own murder. The film doesn't really take off until the second act, but when it does, it really gets moving. In many ways, this film is grandfather to the modern action picture, which wound up borrowing a lot of its techniques. While the film is somewhat cheesy and occasionally overacted (especially in the "wolf-whistles" that accompany the passing of every attractive woman, definitely one the film's lowest attributes), its style and its great combination of hook and ending makes this a film noir classic. Recommended.

  One of the best Film Noir movies ever made.
