Audience Member Corny gangster yarn about an FBI agent who goes undercover to break up a gang. There's an okay shootout at the end and you also get a 19-year old Donna Reed in her film debut, but overall it's a pretty bland crime film. The usually reliable W.R. Burnett co-wrote the script, but I think I'll fault the unoriginal direction for the film's bland result. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
