One of the true-blue noir classics. RIchard Widmark is a certifiable force of nature.February 15, 2005
The archetypal film noir.August 15, 2015
[A] gripping little crime drama.February 20, 2005
the rare masterpiece that earns the appellation not by announcing its grand intentions but by following them through with sublime confidence and precisionMarch 25, 2003
A moody piece of Wellesian chiaroscuro (shot by Max Greene, né Mutz Greenbaum) and an occasionally discomfiting underworld plunge.April 15, 2008
A dark, brooding noir, with Widmark riveting as a hustling promoter who sinks into the quagmire of his own ambitions.April 15, 2008
Jules Dassin, in his direction, manages extraordinarily interesting backgrounds, realistically filmed to create a feeling both of suspense and mounting menace.January 01, 2000
Before he met Melina Mercouri and became an Artist, Jules Dassin made a number of worthwhile thrillers as a Hollywood contract director.October 07, 2015
One of the best noirs around ... downward-spiral noir in its purest form, even if it trades the traditional urban landscape of the American city for the mean streets of London.January 26, 2006
Inclined to go over the top, it all too clearly contains the seeds of Dassin's later -- and disastrous -- pretensions.January 28, 2006
A pointless, trashy yarn.
