Anthony Mann packs quite a lot into eighty minutes in this quickly paced and engagingly intricate film noir. "Joe" (Dennis O'Keefe) faces festering in jail for years after helping out his duplicitous pal "Coyle" (Raymond Burr) who now owes him $50k. An escape plan almost goes awry and reveals to "Joe" and feisty girlfriend "Pat" (Claire Trevor) that his friend is not exactly trustworthy. What now ensues drags in poor "Ann" (Marsha Hunt) as "Joe" tries to exact his revenge, get his cash, and escape to Mexico - all whilst being pursued by hitman "Fantail" (an adequate John Ireland). What's a little unique about this, is that the two women have stronger - and more independent - storylines. They both fall for "Joe", and are both aware that the other has an interest, but these are no shrinking violets and though of completely differing characters, there is plenty of attitude on display to complement the more traditional (and predictable) elements of the chase. Burr was never very good at menacing, and here is no different but he only features sparingly as we gradually discover whether or not "Joe" is really a brute. It's not too wordy, there is enough action and counter-plotting to keep it interesting and I'd say - if you like the genre - is at the better end of the spectrum and well worth a watch.
