Critic Reviews for The Rise and Fall of Legs Diamond
All Critics (7) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (5) | Rotten (2) | DVD (1)
A strange, cold, sordid movie about a strange, cold, sordid gangster.
Director Budd Boetticher and screenwriter Joseph Landon are as fast on their feet as their hoofer-turned-gangster protagonist; the efficiency and momentum of their storytelling should be models of inspiration for today's filmmakers.
Strange and often grim gangster film, notable for some off-trail approaches.
An unsentimental and inaccurate Warner Brothers action-packed biopic on ruthless twenties gangster Jack "Legs" Diamond.
Audience Reviews for The Rise and Fall of Legs Diamond
Overlooked gangster picture with the fierce energy of the early classics. A rags to riches story with the typical hubristic, heartless, no-nonsense character battling to get to the top of the underworld.
