while i can see why some people might not like this movie ( low production value ) i find myself very impressed . right off the bat you know this be a no nonsense crime film . the heist in the picture be well plot and believable . it get more in common with odds against tomorrow than it do grand slam . what i like about the story be that the person set up to be victimize be not just some ordinary guy but an almost equally hard nosed crook . of course the robber be unaware of this when they set up their master plan and it prove to be a major thorn in their side . also and i find the dialog ( especially in the beginning ) to be very high tension and raw . i have read comment it be cheesy but c amon . the film be make in 1952. and be consistent with other film of the genre make in the same period and except here it much more violent and heavy . and last and a great cast of actor make the film even well . these guy talk tough and back it up . there a great scene where one of the crook get slap around similar to cobby in asphalt jungle and except this one look like it hurt . if youre like me and you like to watch movie about bankrobberies and heist you would better check this one out .
