| User ReviewElliott BA greek tragedy of a gangster epic that helped define Bogart, and set the stage for what was to follow. |
| User Review--->Sammy B<---Bogart once again is a bad ass mofo, he recently gets out of prison and already has a huge heist set up. He also is torn between two women, one who wants him, and the other who used him. watch to find out which one actually sold him out to the law :( |
| User ReviewAntonio AFluid camera work, great action, men torn between what they want and what they have to do, and adventure. This is the what Raoul Walsh was all about. |
| User ReviewMichael DBogart does "Dillinger," and makes him a tragic figure. Great! |
