Movie Reviews

Turner Classic Movies Online - 9/10 by Sean Axmaker... a minor noir notable largely for Holden's uncharacteristically feral performance...
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 6/10 by Dennis SchwartzA stagy remake of the Chester Morris film "Blind Alley" (39).
User Review - 8/10 by Thomas Moriginally, i thought this was the same film as he ran all night and the desperate hours (both great noir films), but this is slightly different! first, william holden and lee cobb are great and the screenplay holds up with some really nice tension and suspense. though i would have rather seen veronica lake int he nina foch as originally intended
User Review - 6/10 by Orlok WIntroductory Psychology Gussied Up as a Crime Film--The Fifty-Minute Cure!!
