Critic Reviews for The Last Gangster

Edward Robinson is tough and strenuous as the gangster, and the film has its tense moments. But the plot is labored and the ending is unconvincing.

Audience Reviews for The Last Gangster

Dec 05, 2013

Solid drama with EGR memorable in the lead. The tragic Rose Stradner comes across well in one of her few films. The only misstep the film makes is the ridiculous moustache that Jimmy Stewart is forced to wear.

This film stars Edward G. Robinson as Mob boss Joe Krozak. Joe gets married and finds out his wife is pregnant. But he gets sent to prison for 10 years for tax invasion. His wife soon learns of his mob past and changes her name to give her son a better life. Also she ends up marrying Paul North played by James Stewart. Once Joe gets out of prison he wants to find his son. The story is solid and the acting as well. I loved all the mobster dialogue in this. I originally watched this because James Stewart was in it but in the end I was impressed with Edward G. Robinson performance. Stewart though is excellent as usual. If you like old mobster films then check this out. Well worth a one time watch.
