Review of White Heat (1949) by Harpreet S — 02 Nov 2013
Easily the best of the earlier Warners gangster films that I've seen. In some ways it feels like a summation or artistic exclamation on the genre. The story is just very well done and isn't dated in the least.
Cagney is again electric, and what a great way to sum up his career as a gangster; never was he as frightening or dangerously crazy as he is portrayed here. Wonderfully written and directed as well. Great work all around.
