Top CriticSplendid on-location photography by Sersen and top performances from Mature, Conte, and the wicked Emerson make this a film noir must.
06/20/07
Top CriticRiveting example of Siodmak's skill not only in transforming indifferent material, but in giving the feel of studio noir to location shooting.
02/10/07
Top CriticThe supporting cast is mainly wasted, with interesting characters quickly sidelined in favour of an impossibly complicated story, while a plot strand involving stolen diamonds just doesn't work.
02/10/07
Top CriticCry of the City may be strident at times but its message, story and players are thoroughly effective.
02/10/07
