Movie Reviews

Scene-Stealers.com - 8/10 by Eric MelinAn expertly-plotted noir, less psychologically disturbing and more straight-up undercover crime drama, but it ratchets up the tension nicely and Crawford is having a hell of a time acting like the tough guy.
Parallax View - 8/10 by Sean Axmaker[Broderick] Crawford is at his best as the veteran lawman playing the tough-guy dockworker, engaging and compelling and, at times, quite funny.
User Review - 8/10 by Steven PWednesday, June 11, 2014 (1951) The Mob CRIME THRILLER/ MYSTERY/ SUSPENSE Based on a novel written by Ferguson Findley called "Waterfront", the first few minutes has homicide cop, Johnny Damico (Broderick Crawford) coincidently come across a shooting after buying an engagement ring. Because it was rainy and dark, Johnny managed to point his gun from behind, and at the same time demand him to show his identification by throwing it toward him from behind. Showing only his back, the perpetrator then throws him a police badge, and this convinces Johnny that the guy that was doing the shooting was really a cop. He lets him go and instead of looking at what this guy really looked like, he then went toward the body instead. The perpetrator who Johnny thought was a cop then informs him that he's going back to the store to call for police reinforcements. And by the time the police did come, they tell Johnny that no one called them at all, and that they were just passing through. Johnny then rushes back into the store where the unknown assailant told him he was going to be and finds him to gone with the store clerk telling him that he only came in only so that he can leave in the back door. Later, it is soon revealed that the guy that shot this guy in cold blood wasn't really a cop after all, but is really a witness. Instead of punishing Johnny for not seeing what this guy looked like first, they then order him to go undercover to work as a longshoremen since that is where this guys death is connected to. So when Johnny agrees, the police then give him a new identification, going by the name of Tim Flynn ordered to complete two objectives 1) to find out the actual identification of a unknown gangster nicknamed "Blackie Clay" and to expose the corruption as well as the people who were part of the longshoreman racket. From watching this movie, it looked like that it was influenced by another well known movie also about corruption that occur in longshoreman work called "On The Waterfront" directed by the much popular Elia Kazan, but viewers will see that "The Mob" was really made three years earlier. The other thing that is notable is Charles Bronson uncredited small screen appearance as one of the longshoreman workers- it's that small. And because viewers don't see Oscar winning actor, Broderick Crawford in many likable roles, this is rather a nice change for him as he's playing a principled hardboiled cop, showcasing some of the believable tactics police officers used to practiced to nab the bad guys back in those days. This movie is tough, gritty and shouldn't be missed. 3 stars out of 4

User Review - 8/10 by Martin TIt's a familiar scenario: cop goes undercover to infiltrate a gang, gains their respect, works his way up the ladder, finds an unlikely ally, closes in on the big cheese, something goes wrong, and right when he's about to meet his maker, the tables are turned. It's in a dozen other B-pictures, but it's a classic. This movie is quite a bit more noir than Cry Danger and really nails the look and feel, with a lot of great dialogue. Broderick Crawford is terrific in the lead, reminds me of Paul Douglas but with a tougher edge. Pretty good casting all around, actually, including a minor role for Ernest Borgnine and a blink-and-you'll-miss-it appearance by Charles Bronson. It's hard to call this a great film, but it scratches the noir itch.
User Review - 8/10 by Robbie KIn this crime drama, an undercover policeman attempts to stop racketeers from controlling the waterfront. Once the disguised officer is allowed to join the mob and meet the others, he is surprised to find a fellow undercover cop who is trying to learn the identity of the gang's mysterious leader.
User Review - 6/10 by Brody MI expected just your average cop goes undercover movie but this 1 was actually pretty good with some nice twists & turns thrown in here & there
User Review - 6/10 by Michael TSome snappy dialogue and lots of deja vu.
User Review - 6/10 by Jenna INice period piece with Broderick Crawford going under cover to infiltrate the mob. The period slang and banter is a pleasure to listen to.
