Audience Member just ok b movie fare Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member A good story about the mob, corruption and the sacrifices of an under cover cop as he tries in vain to gather the evidence to put the culprits behind bars. Darren McGavin and Warren Stevens are great in their roles with two snaps to the beautiful Margaret Hayes as an unremorseful vixen. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
