Rating: 4/5 --
Noir wasn't new in 1955, but The Big Combo still found plenty of life within its limits.

Where the usual noir takes place in a nightmare world, this one seems to inhabit a dream: there's no longer fear in the images, but rather a distanced, idealized beauty.

Conte is convincing as the maniacal hood, while Wilde is a good counter-balance to Conte.

Description by OLDIES.com:
The Big Combo is a gripping gangster movie. Cornel Wilde is the tenacious cop determined to bring down a ruthless and sadistic mobster played by Richard Conte. Often overlooked, this movie is a fine example of the evocative film noir style that became so popular during the 40's and 50's. John Alton's stylistic photography creates an atmosphere of harsh gritty reality that draws the viewer into a sordid underworld of crime, greed and murder.
