Desperate Ratings & Reviews
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Anthony Mann is a master at directing these cheapie films and making them look stylish.
The New York Review of Books
Geoffrey O'Brien
B-movie as country-and-western ballad, seventy-three minutes of total involvement followed by oblivion: except for one's lingering uneasiness about unlit corners and warehouses near the river.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
[Has] Mann's sense of coiled violence, just waiting to unload.
East Bay Express
Kelly Vance
The story is standard urban crime stuff, but the director throws in a treasure trove of flourishes.
Classic Film and Television
Michael E. Grost
Nicely done crime thriller, with some great visual set pieces.
