Ivers e Johnson, estreando como protagonistas, no fazem feio. Infelizmente, a direo de Cagney (sua nica tentativa) e o roteiro pouco inspirado condenaram o projeto. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

acsdoug D @acsdoug 10/23/2024 I never knew James Cagney directed a film. The direction isn't bad, but the story is a bit of a stinker. See more 11/18/2010 Unnecessary remake of This Gun for Hire is just another standard crime drama. The leads are adequate but certainly don't have the star charisma of Alan Ladd and Veronica Lake.
