...it’s fairly apparent that the movie’s success is eventually due almost entirely to Garfield’s exciting, electrifying turn as the impressively villainous antagonist. Go to Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews 01/24/2011

Considering how heavy-handed this routine exploitation crime drama comes across, the final result is not bad for such a rotten film. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Alain E @AlainE Nov 19 From the get go this, unfortunately, feels cartoonish. See more Bob W 11/08/2023 Regular working class citizens attempting to defend themselves and fight back against waterfront extortion rackets. Fairly straightforward, until the softened but morally-ambiguous end. See more David K 05/10/2023 Great cast, photography, idea. But, it just kind of hangs there like the writers put it on a shelf to get to later but forgot to. See more 07/04/2014 Good cast let down by an ordinary script and not even the star presence of John Garfield and Ida Lupino can elevate this above mediocre. See more 04/24/2013 Conventional Law Enforcement Won't Do The Job--Drawn to characters on many levels!! See more 10/28/2012 I know this film has flaws, but I loved it. Early film noir with Ida Lupino and John Garfield, plus a supporting cast of some of Hollywood's finest character actors. Directed by Anatole Litvak, 'Out of the Fog' has sly humour and a biblical sense of justice. See more Read all reviews
