After... In the Jacobean revenge drama "Underworld, U.S.A.," people must use violent means to persevere or risk falling prey to the criminal element. This is exactly the dilemma faced by Tolly. After his father is gunned down by four thugs, Tolly spends time in an orphanage. There he meets other problem children and learns how to survive. Ultimately his life degenerates into a series of trips in and out of jail cells. But these experiences at least teach him how to thrive amid the living urban debris of gangsters, on-the-take cops, and fleeting women. He still has one big score to settle, though. It seems the four men who murdered his father currently have cushy positions within the gangland hierarchy. Now Tolly has a bullet reserved for each killer. [More]

Reviews for Underworld, U.S.A.
Even more so than its plot, the film is notable for its very stark, sharp black-and-white look; each shot almost feels like a paper cut.
Samuel Fuller's revenge crime thriller is shot in the same brisk and violent manner he shoots his war films.
