Movie Reviews of Murder, Inc.

Movie Review: Peter Falk's Fantastic Screen Debut
Summary: 4 Stars

Those who say that Peter Falk elevated this movie to a very interesting one are right on the money. Falk, in his first role on screen, definitely plays the most interesting character. Of course, anyone who is a deranged killer is likely to be the focus of viewers' attentions. However, the actor still has to be convincing and Falk does a fine job here as "Abe Reles."

What made this film fun for me was not only Falk, but seeing a few other faces I haven't seen in years, such as May Britt, Henry Morgan and Stuart Whitman. Having watched a few "Night Stalker" TV episodes, I was still very familiar with Simon Oakland. The above actors were all very good in here, as was the rest of the cast, except maybe David Stewart as head crime boss "Lepke." He was too bland for his role of that famous crook.

We even get a song from a young Sarah Vaughan and a comedy routine from Morey Amsterdam! Isn't that strange in a movie about the brutal Murder, Inc., gang?

Another nice thing was the DVD which gives us the original widescreen transfer of the film. There aren't many black-and-white CinemaScope pictures available for us movie fans to see, so it was pleasure to view this.

Summary of Murder, Inc.

Based on the shocking, true story of a criminal gang who terrorized Brooklyn for years, and featuring ?excellent performances? (The Film Daily) by a fine cast ? including Peter Falk in an Oscar?-nominated* early role ? Murder, Inc. delivers its terrifying tale of corruption run amok with riveting intensity!

In the violent burroughs of the 1930s New York, gangs spawned by Prohibition have found new work?as racketeers and contract killers! The most vicious of these is Murder, Inc., the merciless Brownsville, Brooklyn syndicate. As their reign of terror spreads, only one cop (Henry Morgan) has the nerve to methodically track them down, determined to destroy them by any means necessary!
