Movie Reviews of The Big Heat
Movie Review: The Naked City
Summary: 4 Stars
Take one honest but world wise urban cop played by Glenn Ford. Take a gangster ridden town run by the mob. Take a genuine `bad guy' enforcer played by a young Lee Marvin and his wrong side of the tracks but heart of gold girlfriend played by the legendary B actress Gloria Grahame and you have a fair B side noir film. The dialogue is a little thin and the melodrama gets laid on a little thick but it will not be the worst time you have every spent. If nothing else look at it to see the Grahame performance. It is a classic portrayal of the type.
Movie Review: Hotter than a pot of coffee...
Summary: 4 Stars
The Big Heat is an excellent film-noir directed by Fritz Lang with a very fitting title. Lee Marvin steals the show as Vince Stone. He is the scum of the earth in this film, and he does it so well. He's the bad guy you love to hate. Glenn Ford is also very good as detective Dave Bannion. Lang tells a great story of corruption, greed, and violence. You will be on the edge of your seat. Beautifully shot noir. ****1/2 (of *****), too bad Amazon doesn't use half-star intervals, huh?Movie Review: Good Fun
Summary: 4 Stars
The Big Heat was an enjoyable film with excellent performances from Glenn Ford and a very creepy Lee Marvin. This film is a classis good guy vs. bad guy film, with a steady amount of violence and suspense. Ford's Sgt. Bannion is a tough cop that is not afraid to step on toes to do the right thing. The actresses in this movie are very good, and really bring the movie to the 4 star level.Movie Review: Excellent Ganster Movie
Summary: 4 Stars
This was one of the best Gangster Movies that I have seen in years. Glen Ford played the simmering Detective whose wife was murdered by a Gang Lord intent on killing Ford for his attempts to interfere in his racketering business. From start to finish the pace was electric, all the more realistic in black and white. Definetely worth a look.Movie Review: sets the awesome tone
Summary: 4 Stars
This film set the tone for dozens who tried to imitate; be it Clint Eastwood, Steven Segal, et al. The timing, the sparse and direct dialogue, the brutality and violence (some off camera) are what will rivet you to the screen. Watch this to find out how all the others learned their trade.
