Rating: 4/5 --
The sequences on the rainy, neon-lit streets of downtown Manhattan are brought off with exhilarating flair and the two men's closeup confrontations have power and punch.

Guardian
Riveting example of Siodmak's skill not only in transforming indifferent material, but in giving the feel of studio noir to location shooting.

Time Out
Splendid on-location photography by Sersen and top performances from Mature, Conte, and the wicked Emerson make this a film noir must.

TV Guide
The supporting cast is mainly wasted, with interesting characters quickly sidelined in favour of an impossibly complicated story, while a plot strand involving stolen diamonds just doesn't work.

Rating: 4/5 --
In luscious blacks and whites, this film noir thriller takes place in Little Italy, New York, and is a precursor to the cinema of Scorsese, with a touch of Hitchcock in its affectionate embrace of man's dark side.

Times (UK)
It's an exciting motion picture, credibly put together to wring out every bit of strong action and tension inherent in such a plot.
