While the acting and style of the film are good I found this film to be a bit pedestrian in the plot and pacing.This was worth watching once but I can't see myself watching it again.

Widmark is his characteristically scary-as-hell self.

A semi-sequel to House on 92nd Street, again featuring Lloyd Nolan as FBI Inspector Briggs. This one fares much better, though, without quite so much boring set-up. It feels more like polished 30's gangster flick than a police procedural. Widmark submits another sinister performance, and Mark Stevens is likeable (if a little bland) as the undercover agent who inflitrates his gang. Not one of the standout films of the genre, but a nicely constructed one with some tense moments.
