Movie Reviews of The Big Heat
Movie Review: Superb noir
Summary: 5 Stars
This has Lee Marvin in one of his best turns, even though he's a support player. The hood he plays is incredibly vicious (one scene in particular) and all in all this is a really impressive film.
The plot is great and the ending is truly satisfying. If you like old noir films, this is one to check out.

Movie Review: Lang At His Best
Summary: 5 Stars
With the possible exception of "Beyond a Reasonable Doubt" (1956), Fritz Lang's "The Big Heat" (1953) was the director's last masterpiece. Tough and uncompromising, it is a provocative crime thriller that features Glenn Ford's best performance as an honest cop battling big-city corruption - and the terrible price he pays. Gloria Grahame and Lee Marvin give equally effective portrayals in this classic film noir. "The Big Heat" remains a powerful, unforgettable work.Movie Review: " On A Hate Binge"
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Big Heat" is a very nice film noir DVD. Glenn Ford gives a strong performance and you would go "on a hate binge" if you were in his shoes. Strong direction from Fritz Lang gives the film an excellent pace. Lee Marvin has a role in the film as a real slime ball and Gloria Grahame is the ditzy blonde who is smarter than she acts. There's not a lot of buzz about this movie, but it delivers the goods and will please all fans of noir.Movie Review: a hot pot of coffee to the face.
Summary: 5 Stars
Ever wished a protagonist would slap the shinola out of the first guy that mouths off to him, or like to see a scalding hot pot of coffee thrown into a really hateable villains face? then this movie is for you. Made with Fritz Lang's uncompromisingly brutal and honest style of filmmaking, this movie is really worth owning. My personal favorite Fritz Lang movie made in America since "Fury" with Spencer Tracy.Movie Review: A wonderful film noir
Summary: 5 Stars
A great Fritz Lang movie exploring the depths of big time corruption. Glenn Ford does a wonderful job, depicting a police officer who will stop at nothing to bring down mob boss Lagana and his henchmen. The scene when Gloria Grahame is burned by coffee thrown at her face is an all-time great. Glenn Ford should have been nominated for an Oscar, and I will go as far as saying he should have won one as well.
