More a police procedural than a character-driven narrative, this film noir is boosted by an impeccable sense of verisimilitude. The story feels real, the locations and cinematography help the story feel more grounded. Barry Fitzgerald is decent as the lead cop but things get a bit stale in the character department until Ted de Corsica shows up as a brutal thug. The climactic chase on the Williamsburg Bridge is thrilling.
