Kate Cameron New York Daily News 04/17/2024
3/4
The picture moves with speed across the screen and is convincingly acted by a well-chosen cast. Go to Full Review Philip K. Scheuer Los Angeles Times 04/17/2024
Blanche Yurka, absent from the screen for five years, dives into her role with such relish, such good old-fashioned melodramatic relish, that she has no problem scuttling off with the picture as well as the swag. Go to Full Review Cecil Smith Chicago Tribune 04/17/2024
Unfortunately, the material is not even nervously exciting until the final shooting. The G-men know it all the time, and the criminals are merely rather uninteresting hunted folk for whom we have neither sympathy nor concern. Go to Full Review P.S. Harrison Harrison's Reports 04/17/2024
Just another gangster melodrama. Go to Full Review Shadow Stage Photoplay 04/16/2024
Blanche Yurka turns in a wonderful performance as Ma. Ralph Bellamy and Jack Carson are excellent G-men. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
