The only things worth watching are early in the film, the girl running down the highway and the implied torture sequence, which, for the 50s, is pretty grisly and very effective. After that, it's all crap, particularly the unbelievable ending. I will give props to Aldrich for giving roles to African-American characters that aren't those of maids or janitors. Strong performances turned in by the boxing promoter and club owner in roles that were usually color-barred to them.
Watch the trailer included with the DVD--the film was promoted as sex and beat-em-ups. Girls to paw and push around and guys to punch. Nothing more. So let's not get all classic-film-noir-cum-political-statement here, shall we?
