Review of The Asphalt Jungle (1950) by Davey M — 29 Feb 2008
John Huston helms the heist movie to which all other heist movies must aspire. Excellent, juicy dialogue; gorgeous, gritty cinematography; vicious characterizations from an impeccable cast (Sam Jaffe and James Whitmore are standouts); and a powerful, tragic sense of moral justice which lends the film an astonishingly effective conclusion.
