Review of The Big Steal (1949) by Patryk C — 11 Sep 2012
A road trip noir that offers some astounding visuals and a few gripping scenes, but nevertheless stays somewhere in the middle of the list in this particular category. What's crucial to point out is the fact that even though, for most of the time, the story flaws with time without any significant turns, yet in the ending it offers such a twist that it simply is more surprising than one might expect.
Don Siegel created a very compelling movie about a man, who chases a guy who framed him for a robbery, and who is also chased by the law. A cat-and-mouse tale with a very interesting characters. And it all happens in the hot and sweaty outposts of Mexico.
Worth a watch.
