The Asphalt Jungle Reviews

I always enjoy a good heist film, but one of the most important aspects is having great characters to follow, and this one didn't really have it. The heist itself wasn't all that grand, but this one focuses more on the setup and aftereffects. Overall, very good but not memorable.

Yuck

A desperate criminal underbelly in 1950 Cincinnati. A top shelf entry in the “crime doesn’t pay” category of movies. It gets Cincinnati right on a sub level as it takes its time examining each man and his motivation, skill and weakness.

Not as interesting as I thought.

8.3/10

Really cool characters. Loved German guy and Sterling Hayden. Even the girls in this classic noir movie sorta had some personality and weren’t completely evil so that’s a plus
