i originally saw the film when it come out and only saw it again recently . scene from the film have stay with me and i wasn not disappoint when it run on tv . john payne and the bos and be a good hollywood portrayal of a crime bos . the bad guy be really bad and the good guy be few . crook politics and payoff and rub out and double cross and brawl and you name it and it use . payne be a popular actor in the 40 but i do not appreciate him at the time . base on this film i will try to see some of his others . if you like asphalt jungle you probably would also like the bos .
