Outstanding mystery with brilliant location photography in New York City.

Throughout, despite its omniscient, stark melodrama, there has been no sight lost of an element of humor.

If this is noir, it's the most brightly lit, least antisocial noir ever.
January 26, 2006
A rather overrated police-procedure thriller which has gained its seminal status simply by its accent on ordinariness and by its adherence to the ideal of shooting on location.

Affords the viewer a look at a type of city life that has long since disappeared, giving the film a kind of documentary time-capsule flavor.

The movie is hard-hitting, gripping and a hymn to the excitement of New York City where it was shot entirely on location.

A definite parochial fascination is liberally assured all the way and the seams in a none-too-good whodunnit are rather cleverly concealed.
