Review of The Big Heat (1953) by Derek H — 29 Sep 2007
I knew Lang wouldn't let me down. Compared to a lot of noirs of the same period, 'Heat' is downright brutal. The violence, although mainly suggested, is surprising for the time, same goes for the subject matter.
Filled with great hard-nosed dialogue, a bit of excessive melodrama but, overall, an honest depiction of crime and revenge.
