Synopsis

A psychotic loner uses his genius for electronics to commit robberies while evading the police. When he kills a cop, Los Angeles’s finest police specialists employ new crime-fighting techniques to trap their clever adversary. The manhunt leads through—and beneath—Los Angeles’ darkest cityscapes.

MUBI's take

The terms “B film” and “noir” get tossed around too much these days. It takes a fleet-footed film of no-budget ingenuity like this dark-dark post-war thriller. co-directed by an uncredited Anthony Mann (Winchester ’73) at the peak of his youthful style, to remind us of their true evocative power.
