Cracking film noir, with all the wise cracking, brooding shadows and compromised characters you could ask for. While this isn't quite up to the standard of Bogart's Marlowe, this is an entertaining film all the same and moves along at a decent pace. The character of Moose Malloy brings a measure of humour with the cruelty and brutality, while the action scenes are well played and understated. There's possibly some missing spark which means this film isn't an absolute classic, but it's excellent entertainment all the same.
