An incredible film with a complex performance by James Cagney
One of the best gangster portrayals of all time. Cagney at his best.
Fun while still being an interesting in terms of psychological exploration. Many iconic scenes and a career high performance from Cagney
Classic crime crew heist and lockup. Cagney plays a good homicidal wacko. Enjoyed Archer as the treasury agent. Love fedora era cops.
Excellent gangster film with an incredible performance by James Cagney
A classic Cagney-gangster film ending with a spectacle. The golden age of The Hollywood Golden Age.
Superior cinema. An absolute feast. So cool
Above average black and white noir film. Cagney is perfect in the roll but it falls into a lot of familiar tropes
I started it but lost interest fairly quickly
One of the greatest gangster movies of all time, despite the horrible depiction of migraines.
