I never knew James Cagney directed a film

I never knew James Cagney directed a film. The direction isn't bad, but the story is a bit of a stinker.

Unnecessary remake of This Gun for Hire is

Unnecessary remake of This Gun for Hire is just another standard crime drama. The leads are adequate but certainly don't have the star charisma of Alan Ladd and Veronica Lake.

decent B movie

Story about an antisocial hired killer who goes after an employer who double crosses him. While tracking down the men who hired him he gets involved with the female lead a night club singer on her way to Los Angeles. In the end revenge is extracted.It is fast paced and keeps your interest especially the first hour. When the action moves to LA it starts to bog down a bit and get a little squirrelly. There is a long scene in an air raid shelter of some huge giant factory that is completely implausible...dozens of police scour the plant for hours but overlook an obvious staircase to the airraid shelter??Still it is worth a watch I give it a 6.The other reviews are by people much more knowledgeable about the actors and period than I...am reviewing it as a naive uninformed viewer.RECOMMEND
