| Seanax.comSean Axmaker... like the gangster figures of the 1930s, he sees only himself and the world around him and treats everything/everyone else as a stepping stone or an obstacle. |
| User ReviewMichael LAn excellent Film-Noir/Revenge flick from Samuel Fuller. Cliff Robertson goes after the guys who beat his father to death when he was 14. It's a pretty mean-spirited and brutal film, including a scene where a man runs over a little girl on a bike that surprised the Hell out of me. I have no fucking idea why this isn't on DVD yet. |
| User ReviewDaryl CTough and uncompromising Sam Fuller movie, with one of those intricate revenge plots that were common in gangster and mob thrillers of the 1950s; this movie came near the end of the cycle in 1961, and it's also interesting because Fuller uses the schema from his PICKUP ON SOUTH STREET (1953) to provide the story with its romantic underpinnings. With Fuller, it's not so much that he's unsentimental as he swings through extremes, so that the sentimentality is caught up short by the in-your-face brutality. A typical example of his approach is the scene where Dolores Dorn and Cliff Robertson discuss getting married: it's done in such an off-hand way that any sentiment is held at bay. |
| User ReviewJack GCliff Robertson is excellent in this one and the film is B-Movie-o-riffic!! |
| User ReviewJeremiah LI am a sucker for a good Sam Fuller film and this film is sure a good one. It is a tough and enjoyable genre film with some really good scenes. It is the kind of great hard boiled entertainment I would expect form Fuller. |
| User ReviewTimmy RWonderful revenge movie that doesn't fall for the cliche' character. Strong movie from beginning to end and Cliff Robertson is a fantastic lead. |
| User ReviewDave Ra pretty gritty gangster/noir. a boy witnesses his father's murder and vows revenge on the gangsters who killed him. it seems a bit graphic considering when it was made. well worth seeing. |
| User ReviewRussell GA taut and well-photographed crime film with a great lead performance by Cliff Robertson. |
| User ReviewJarett BI know that it is made about 20 years past its prime for the genre, but still, being crafted by Fuller means one thing: it's got balls to spare! It's a great noir, with great direction, and snappy dialogue. |
| User ReviewMark DA solid revenge film written and directed by the great auteur director Sam Fuller. Cliff Robertson does a swell job playing Tolly Devlin, an ex-convict looking to avenge his father's killers. Richard Rust steals the scenes he's in especially when he is about to kill someone and puts his sunglasses on just before he does so. My first Sam Fuller film and I look forward to watching more of his films. 8/10 |
