Reviews for On Dangerous Ground
Above par noir thriller that takes some stereotypical characters and potentially sentimental situations to fashion them into a film that thinks as well as entertains.
One of noir's most soulful and poetic expressions of hope and redemption.
Perched between late-'40s noir and mid-'50s crime drama, this is one of the great, forgotten works of the genre.
Overcomes its artificial contrivances to become a touching psychological drama about despair and loneliness.
