...engaging thanks to some expectedly hard-bitten dialogue and Widmark's charismatic, sinister performance.

The film noir gets its colorful flavorings from star Richard Widmark playing another psychopathic killer like he did in Kiss of Death.

Essentially a propaganda piece with J. Edgar Hoover's fingerprints all over it. Still, it's taunt, methodical and filled with noteworthy performances. Not great but not at all bad.

When you base a crime movie on actual cases they're either brilliant or boring. This one is in between.
