Threat, The (1949)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
A man (Charles McGraw) escapes from prison after swearing to seek vengeance on those he feels got him there in the first place. The guilty man kidnaps the detective and D.A. who landed him in prison with hopes of killing them slowly. I really enjoyed the story, the direction and the music score but the supporting performances are so incredibly dull that I couldn't wait for the film to be over. McGraw is very good in his role but his supporting cast doesn't offer any help so their story is never interesting nor did I ever care if they were killed or not. With a different cast this thing could have been a classic.
