I guess I got spoiled by modern heist films - the lack of music and preparation process for the caper put me off a bit. Yet, the main event was still decent and the aftermath was even better.

It's just solid in 2020, but I suspect this did quite a lot to advance the heist genre when it first came out. Will need to do a bit of reading about the context here. There's a bit of copaganda at the end that's so out-of-place and blatant that I almost had to knock off a few points.

John Huston imzalı The Asphalt Jungle,hepsi birbirinden farklı tipte karakterlerin giriştiği bir mücevher soygunu ve sonrasında yaşananları konu ediniyor.Her karakterin oldukça güzel bir şekilde işlendiği film,Huston’ın muhteşem siyah-beyaz görselliği ile de birleşince ortaya aynı zamanda harika bir ‘film noir’ örneği çıkmış oluyor.Film sadece suçluların dünyasına değil aynı zamanda polis teşkilatı içindeki çürümüşlüğe de yer veriyor.

Just when I was starting to get sick and bored of noirs, Huston comes along with an efficiently-directed, exciting noir full of well-acted three-dimensional characters and dripping with human pathos, and I really enjoyed it. The first great heist film in a long string, and a film noir that's aged better than most. Also, damn, even when she was a nobody Marilyn Monroe knew how to steal a scene, it's not a surprise she became so famous so quickly.

Great little heist flick, even deals with the underground logistics of it a little bit, only issue is it kinda has that typical 50s ending, where"crime doesnt pay" so they have to put in the extra effort to show you that. I guess they didnt have the balls back then to have a criminal get away, even if most didnt. also farm boys love interest is kind of pathetic, but it seams she is that way to represent what he could have if he flied straight, a loving wife and family.

I can definitely see why this film gets hype, but it doesn't do it for me. My expectations were probably a little off. I didn't find Hayden's performance to be that great, and overall it was kind of boring.

Excellent story, but the cast did not quite pull it off for me. Characters were all interesting, time was given to dig into their separate motivations, strengths and weaknesses. Pace of the movie is great, only a little of the dialogue runs slow.

This movie is ... wait, what's this poster? Marilyn Monroe top billed? Is this a joke? I, uh, what was I doing again? Oh yes, a review. I really enjoyed this heist flick, from before they became dominated by suave anti-heroes whose cleverness is only matched by their coolness. Here you are kind of repulsed and hooked at the same time, both in the characters' corners and waiting for them to get their just deserts. Moody, well-filmed and well-acted.

The Asphalt Jungle is a handsome heist film from an old master that supposedly laid the groundwork for future genre entries that are largely superior, namely The Killing and Rififi. Perhaps I went in with the wrong expectations, but it played like a craftsman's piece that was too finely honed, lacking edge and excitement. The emphasis on the characters and the bitter aftermath was commendable, but it slows to a crawl around the halfway mark and loses momentum. This rating is tentative.
