Best known for starring Ronald Reagan in his only villainous role, this remake of the 1946 classic noir isn't quite as good. But it punches up the violence and Lee Marvin makes a natural fit as the antiheroic assassin. Reagan himself isn't too bad as the heavy although he reportedly hated his part. The mood is relentless and nihilistic, with Marvin delivering some great 'tough guy' one-liners.
