| New YorkerRichard BrodyRevelling in the cinema's power to set a vast scene in a single glance, Walsh gives the spare, schematic story a novelistic amplitude. |
| User ReviewElliott BA true period gangster film (perhaps the first) shot on location, in NY, in the mid teens, with a non cliche ending. |
| User ReviewJoel AI'm told this is one of the first Gangster movies to have been made - it's also 20th Century Fox' first film - and its themes are as visceral and deafening as any modern take on its plot, despite it being silent. |
| User ReviewPrivate UI haven;'t seen many silent films so this was really interesting to see. It was even better as I got the full experience with live piano accompaniment at the British Museum. Very different to today's gangster films. |
| User ReviewBrendan SIt was good, but kinda boring in all honesty. It took too long to get moving. The second half mostly made up for a lackluster first, however. |
| User ReviewBrody MNot 1 of the best silent films Ive seen but it was alright |
