Ernie K Quintessential, dark, brooding, surprising noir, featuring a dynamite performance by Ralph Meeker as Mike Hammer as he portrays a man of intuition, violence, desire, and even occasional compassion. As hardboiled as they come, he also wishes to help a woman in great distress, and in the process there are dizzying twists and turns. A mid-50's watch that will still satisfying the noir fan - as well as anyone appreciating offbeat but compelling film making. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/24/24 Full Review Leo P I saw this B movie first time as a kid.I didn't understand what was that glowing and groaning thing in the shoe box and I became really scared.The sole purpose of this miscarriage is to frighten children,and can be of interest only for those who want to see one of the very first models of answering machine in action.

Has all the signposts of a great noir but the intrigue is never adequately paid off or developed. Just ends with this pseudo nuclear nonsense. Watched on DVD. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/21/24 Full Review Andrew L Robert Aldrich gets Mickey Spillane's most famous character right in this film noir that takes a simple plot and raises the stakes to where the main character, an inexpensive private eye with little-to-no morals named Mike Hammer, has to stop a global catastrophe. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/09/24 Full Review acsdoug D Ralph Meeker looks the part of a tough guy detective, but he doesn't sound like one. That high pitched voice of his really detracts from the character. Maybe if he was a better actor he could overcome that deficiency. Still the film has all you could wish for in a detective noir: thugs. violence and pretty dames. Good enough for me. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/31/24 Full Review nick s Surprisingly gritty movie with an unsympathetic main character who doesn't stay within social guardrails. Lots of eye catching locations as he follows the clues around town. Some of the editing was a bit rough, the acting had some soft patches and the plot was merely squeezing one person after another to uncover the macguffin. However, all that doesn't take away from the fact this was excellent entertainment. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/07/24 Full Review Read all reviews
