| User ReviewDC FSolid suspense - crime drama; James Cagney and Gordon Douglas are in top form. Finally on blu-ray! |
| User ReviewPaul CNot as good as White Heat another Cagney as a gangster noir, but Kiss... still packs a wallop, Babara Payton turns in a fine performance as the good-hearted?if somewhat gullible?blonde who goes bad through her association with sadistic gangster ?Ralph Cotter played by Cagney |
| User ReviewRonald SA tough and relentless noir based on the Horace McCoy novel of the same name, with James Cagney as a ruthless escaped convict on a violent rampage of robbery and murder. A raw, mean portrayal of violence by Cagney, and Barbara Payton delivers a great performance as Cagney's gullible girlfriend. |
| User ReviewDylan WThis is a good one. You're gonna want to watch this. |
| User ReviewBruce BI rented this film because of Barbara Payton, little did I know that James Cagney would be the main star. Cagney was outstanding in his role as a gangster, and Payton played his crime gal and did an excellent job. Its a early Black and White film that will hold your interest. We have crooked detectives, a pissed off girlfriend and a secret lover, everything that makes a good film. A 4 star film. |
| User ReviewMartin TThis tough noir moves in fits and starts, but is propelled by a gleeful performance by James Cagney. He's a ruthless son of a bitch who drags everyone down to his level. Some good cinematography, crisp dialogue and fine supporting performances, especially Barbara Payton. Payton has a tragic biography, rife with abusive relationships, alcoholism, and prostitution, and ending with heart failure at age 39. She was quite a dish in her heyday, though. Not the most memorable, but quite solid and enjoyable. |
| User ReviewGreg Wgood deep dark Cagney following up his brutal performance in 'white heat' |
| User ReviewNeil CCagney is the psychotic 51 year-old 'boy' who woos women by slapping them around. This is a good, lesser-known gangster picture - worth watching if it's on late night TV. The courtroom bookends seem unecessary, they can be forgiven but the film seems a bit dated for 1950 (compare it with Sunset Boulevard from the same year). |
| User ReviewDarrin CCagney's character was kinda sadistic i think |
| User ReviewOllie CJames Cagney puts on a good show in this otherwise run of the mill gangster flick. |
