A pretty good gangster thriller from director Samuel Fuller. This one starts off on a dramatic footing as a kid witnesses his father get killed by a group of gangster goons. The story then effectively skips to the future, where the kid has turned into Cliff Robertson and it turns out that his own special dish of revenge is one that gets served at a very cold temperature indeed. What follows is a kind of undercover story in which Robertson gets close to the villains responsible for the murder, working his way through them one at a time. There's plenty of suspense along the way alongside larger than life characterisations.
