SHOOT TO KILL(1947)
In the set: 100 Greatest Mystery Classics


This is a story about gangsters and politicians -
ooops, sorry, I repeated myself!!! Anyway, I'm not
sure that there's any good guys here, except the
secretary and the newspaper man! Several jumps in
this that distracts from the movie! C+

A review from IMDb.com:

"Shoot to Kill" is a somewhat routine but
fast-paced crime story. It begins with a car
chase, and then flashes back to explain who
is involved and what led up to the chase.

The plot is relatively complicated and involves
a crooked politician, a gangster looking for
revenge, a loyal wife trying to clear her husband
in any way possible, and a crusading reporter
who is trying to figure out what everyone else
is up to. The characters are mostly stereotypes,
and most are also unsympathetic, but the emphasis
is on the action. A great deal happens in just
over an hour's worth of running time, and there
are a couple of surprises along the way.

Though mostly a routine crime drama, "Shoot
to Kill" is fast-paced enough to keep your
attention, and most film-noir or crime film
fans should find it a decent way to pass
the time. - Snow Leopard
