Jun 25, 2014 George Raft is an ex-gangsters who helps the FBI bring down a counterfeiting operation run by the villainous George Macready. The film starts out like a typical noir picture, but then takes an odd turn near the end when it becomes The Most Dangerous Game/Hart Target with Macready hunting down Raft. Although it's not a classic noir or adventure film, the bizarro mix of the hammy Macready and the always still Raft, the film works in a bizarre sort of way. See more
Feb 6, 2011 Predictable Raft noir entry in the cycle of, "Johnny___" titled pics. This features a fantastic Macready villain and solid cinematography by Biroc and ex-cinematographer turned director Tetzlaff. See more
