About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you like hard-edged noir with ruthless criminals, corrupt cops, and nonstop menace, especially if Crime Wave or Raw Deal worked for you; Not for you if you need sympathetic characters or lighter moods.
Pros: fierce lead performance; gritty tension; dark, sleazy atmosphere | Cons: thin romance angles; mostly unlikable characters; courtroom framing divisive
