Raw Deal Ratings & Reviews
Mister Arn
May 17, 2025
The use of lighting in this movie is breathtaking. It takes a below-average story and makes it interesting. Cinematographer John Alton did some excellent work in this film.

Dennis Harvey
Inky blacks, shadows and shards of light [that] came to define high noir style...
Slant Magazine
Derek Smith
Collateral damage is the order of the day in Raw Deal, as virtually everyone ends up betrayed, unhappy, or dead.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
Tremendous, sinewy noir
Goatdog's Movies

The next time someone asks me to define "film noir," I'm going to say Raw Deal.

Steve Crum
Top notch noir flick directed by Anthony Mann with Dennis O'Keefe starring.
Classic Film and Television
Michael E. Grost
Unusual, dream like crime thriller, with powerful finale.
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
The apex of noir style, offering up electric visions of sin, salvation, and sexual mania.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Alton's cinematography is a thing of low-budget joy; using the very darkest blacks and the brightest whites smashed together in the same frame.

The photography is electric.
