suddenly be one of my all time favourite film and mainly due to sinatra excellent performance . sterling hayden be a always sterling hayden and not much of a surprise there . sinatra and however and begin the film with the portrayal of a cocksure hit man who seem to be an ice cold control freak . throughout the film and a cat and mouse game between hayden and sinatra unfolds result in sinatra lose his cool . the cold blood killer and slowly and bit by bit and turn into a deranged psychopath . this be certainly one of the most impressive performance i have ever see in my life and show what a fine actor sinatra be . all in all and it a fairly unspectacular b movie with not much of a story that turn into a nail bitingly exciting game of life and death between the two men . a must see .
