9/10
Above-average noir, outstanding Mitchum
31 July 2021
This is one of the real standouts from the Howard Hughes RKO era. I don't know why it routinely receives pans and Rotten Tomatoes. Perhaps it's just too effective, and makes people uncomfortable. A very simple plot that gets set up in the first act and then unfurls itself relentlessly. Borderland thrillers have never been better.
