The Damned Don’t Cry **** (1950, Joan Crawford, Kent Smith, David Brian, Steve Cochran, Hugh Sanders, Richard Egan) – Classic Movie Review 3258
‘She’s the Private Lady of a Public Enemy!’ Director Vincent Sherman’s richly enjoyable 1950 flashback-told black and white film noir crime melodrama The Damned Don’t Cry provides a good role for Joan Crawford to do what […]
Dillinger **** (1973, Warren Oates, Ben Johnson, Michelle Phillips, Cloris Leachman, Harry Dean Stanton, Richard Dreyfuss, Steve Kanaly, Geoffrey Lewis, John P Ryan, John Martino, Roy Jenson) – Classic Movie Review 3241
Writer-director John Milius’s 1973 thriller for American International Pictures casts Warren Oates in his first starring role as America’s public enemy number one John Dillinger. Début director Milius’s gangster movie is tough, pulsating and uncompromising […]

Taut, tense and well-made, director Zackary Adler’s welcome and essential sequel to his The Rise of the Krays is a lean, mean, spare, non-glamourised London crime thriller. It’s grittier and less of a show than Legend (2015). […]
Black Mass *** (2015, Johnny Depp, Joel Edgerton, Benedict Cumberbatch, Dakota Johnson, Kevin Bacon, Peter Sarsgaard, Jesse Plemons, Adam Scott) – Movie Review
Johnny Depp is good, not brilliant, but good, cast against type as real-life diabolical sociopath Whitey Bulger, the most infamous violent criminal in the history of South Boston. Director Scott Cooper’s fascinating but uneven 2015 gangster […]
Four Rooms * (1995, Tim Roth, Bruce Willis, Quentin Tarantino, Jennifer Beals, Paul Calderon, Salma Hayek, Madonna, Antonio Banderas, Marisa Tomei) – Classic Movie Review 3056
Tim Roth plays an unlikely bellboy visiting the title’s four hotel rooms in this lacklustre 1995 portmanteau movie comedy, showing clearly why these kinds of films are out of fashion. Even good directors, it seems, […]
