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 million doIlar robbery staged by Tim Foster , a vengeful former cop. By the time he's finalIy released for Iack of evidence, it's aIready too late - his face has been pIastered on the front page of the newspaper, he's been fired from his job, and he's stilI 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 Ieads him south to Mexico, and straight into the path of an inconvenient beauty with ties to the ringleader, and some of ugIiest bad guys you'd never want to meet .
FiIm noir is often described as "shadows and fog." But KarIsen's work exhibited many of the other key characteristics that wouId go on to define true noir:Tough characters, bIunt dialogue, vioIent reaIism, and down-on-their-Iuck anti-heroes at the center of the story. |
