A true good, effective, taut little crime programer from Warner Bros company. I watched it a very long time ago and just discover it now. A social noir drama with cime elements. And it's very short too, fast paced. Action sequences very powerful, the Warner trademark. Only the ending is cheesy for me, that's the reason why I won't see it again. It's not poignant, just watch it as a movie buff, nothing more. D Ross Lederman was a lousy director by the end of his career with the LONE WOLF series, where there is no common element with this little movie. I don't even speak of his early career stuff, which I don't know at all. I guess it's lost.
