Not as impressive as the similar T-Men, but gets the job done without any huge missteps. The biggest flaw is a lack of compelling characters. You've got the wonderful and tragic Barbara Payton, and Lloyd Bridges is great but he gets pulled out of the story too soon, leaving a climax with a couple of guys you don't really care about. But the look and feel of the film is right on target and overall it makes for a satisfying experience, if not an especially exciting one.

Forgettable, semi-documentary style noir.
