Review of The Big Heat (1953) by Eric H — 06 Mar 2008
Fuck Scarface and Tony Soprano, Dave mothafuckin' Bannion is the real epitome of manliness. He stands up to huge crime bosses and corrupt police officials like its nothing; and even when hes in the worst of the worst rut; it only makes him more tough and more cold. The awesome clever manly things he says just get better and better as the movie goes on. Unfortunately I can't find anything online...but believe me they're sweet. And speaking of sweet, he's also suprisingly liberal towards his wife for that specific time. He talks to her like a real person of equal intelligence that he truly loves, which is something I rarely see in movies like this.
Edit... I found a sweet line.
DEBBY: Hey, I'd like to buy you a drink.
BANNION: With Vince Stone's money? ...I'd choke on it.
This film-noir is everything in a film-noir that you'd want. If you haven't seen it yet, hurry the fuck up.
