      Steve D Sometimes frustrating but good. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/01/24 Full Review Audience Member Decent noir for fans of Kirk and Burt. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review william d Decent enough noir, would have been even better with an actress better than Lizabeth Scott. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Luca D A stereotypical noir. That's not entirely a bad thing though. I really like how every character acts heartless at first but then begin to open up as the movie goes on. The soundtrack and cinematography is really good. The plot is not too deep which some people don't mind. Overall would recommend. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/02/21 Full Review Audience Member very good suspenser and first pairing of Lancaster & Douglas Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member "I Walk Alone" is an adequate film noir -- nothing too outstanding to make it worth remembering, but nothing so bad that it feels like a waste of time. Carefully plotted but blandly acted, "I Walk Alone" unravels in the same manner as most noirs, twisting and turning upon the actions of each character. Byron Haskin's direction is sufficient enough, but Lizabeth Scott underacts in most of her scenes and Burt Lancaster is either miscast or simply not believable. Kirk Douglas provides a deliciously snake-like performance, but even he cannot overshadow the bad acting of the film's leads. In the end, "I Walk Alone" isn't excellent cinema, but it works well for what it is. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Josephine O'Neill Daily Telegraph (Australia) Now that I come to think of it, the whole melodrama, like [Kristine] Miller, is intolerably chic. Apr 11, 2019 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews The film is entertaining because of the top-flight cast. Rated: B- Dec 21, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews
