It’s really good for Martin’s 2nd movie, considering how new he was at making movies at the time.

A strange choice for Scorsese's second outing. An exploitation film set in the Great Depression. It's okay, but certainly not for me.

A subpar crime film that’s only worth viewing for completing Scorsese’s filmography.

Definitely Scorsese’s worst, but that doesn’t mean it’s absolutely awful. It’s mediocre in every sense, not offering much new, but not awful

A weak Scorsese entry but a good movie nevertheless. Strong charcter work, good writing and impressive style here and there

The worst film Martin Scorsese made. A low level exploitation film for such an auteur and shows even someone at his level can make mistakes.
