    The film noir gets its colorful flavorings from star Richard Widmark playing another psychopathic killer like he did in Kiss of Death.

    Essentially a propaganda piece with J. Edgar Hoover's fingerprints all over it. Still, it's taunt, methodical and filled with noteworthy performances. Not great but not at all bad.

    When you base a crime movie on actual cases they're either brilliant or boring. This one is in between.

  • jay n


    Richard Widmark offers his usual fine performance but the film is seriously dated.

  • Michael G


    A noir that isn't necessary, but good.
