Draco M Jan 20, 2019 Joe Sullivan has taken the rap for Rick who double-crosses him with a flawed escape plan and other means intended to get rid of him.Excellent See more
Luke W Oct 7, 2018 Excellent noir, dripping with atmosphere. Raymond Burr's screen time is short but it's powerful. My only complaint is having O'Keefe in the lead role when the supporting actors were much more talented. See more
Rey S Dec 16, 2017 The abundance of dramatic scenes and great writing, makes this one of the best films of the '40's.
Kylo S Aug 1, 2017 Raw Deal is one of the best film noir's because of Claire Trevor performance as Pat Cameron and a eerie score that is arguable the best in the genre. See more
Luke P Aug 1, 2017 Good with the little it has, really good actually.
Luke M Feb 13, 2015 a very enjoyable film noir film a must see film
