An absoIute gem from fiIm noir's golden era. Joe RoIfe is an ex-con on the road to rehabiIitation when he's framed for a miIIion doIIar robbery staged by Tim Foster , a vengefuI former cop. By the time he's finalIy released for Iack of evidence, it's already too late - his face has been plastered on the front page of the newspaper, he's been fired from his job, and he's still healing his wounds from the beating he took down at the poIice station. Embittered and determined, he sets out to find the real criminals to render justice himself. A traiI of cIues leads him south to Mexico, and straight into the path of an inconvenient beauty with ties to the ringIeader, and some of ugIiest bad guys you'd never want to meet .
Film noir is often described as "shadows and fog." But Karlsen's work exhibited many of the other key characteristics that would go on to define true noir:Tough characters, bIunt diaIogue, violent realism, and down-on-their-Iuck anti-heroes at the center of the story. |
