Movie Reviews

Little White Lies - 10/10 by David JenkinsThe beauty of Siodmak's film is how it objectively observes how a man acts with the spectre of death on his shoulder.
Times (UK) - 8/10 by Kate MuirIn luscious blacks and whites, this film noir thriller takes place in Little Italy, New York, and is a precursor to the cinema of Scorsese, with a touch of Hitchcock in its affectionate embrace of man's dark side.
Guardian - 8/10 by Peter BradshawThe sequences on the rainy, neon-lit streets of downtown Manhattan are brought off with exhilarating flair and the two men's closeup confrontations have power and punch.
Time Out - 8/10 by Tom HuddlestonFilm noir doesn't get much murkier than Robert Siodmak's 1948 New York-set immigrant story.
Seanax.com - 7/10 by Sean AxmakerThe urban atmosphere of city traffic and the scuffed and worn authenticity of real storefronts and sidewalks gives the film a charge of realism but Siodmak forgoes docurealism for his beloved expressionist style.
Variety - 7/10 by Variety StaffIt's an exciting motion picture, credibly put together to wring out every bit of strong action and tension inherent in such a plot.
User Review - 10/10 by Private UA classic - for photographers and movie lovers alike
User Review - 10/10 by Birgit GA really exiting and good movie about a heartless killer and a compassionate cop who hunts him down.Beautifully directed by film noir maestro Siodmak and great acting.
User Review - 8/10 by Dave Ra gritty noir about a cop tracking down a killer who is trying to protect a girl he loves. great performances.
User Review - 8/10 by Slappy MHard to find film noir. Worth the search however. Very stylish and very interesting throughout. Siodmak doesn't disappoint.
