A gritty tale of vengeance in which Robertson feigns loyalty to both the government (a federal crime commission) and organized crime in order to kill the men who murdered his father. This is one of Samuel Fuller's most visually striking films, based on a series of Saturday Evening Post articles, by Joseph F. Dineen.

Film Frenzy

Matt Brunson

Samuel Fuller's direction, in full nihilistic bloom, is better than his screenplay.

...erratic yet mostly rewarding...

... like the gangster figures of the 1930s, he sees only himself and the world around him and treats everything/everyone else as a stepping stone or an obstacle.

Combustible Celluloid

Jeffrey M. Anderson

Even more so than its plot, the film is notable for its very stark, sharp black-and-white look; each shot almost feels like a paper cut.

Samuel Fuller's revenge crime thriller is shot in the same brisk and violent manner he shoots his war films.
