Classic film noir where Ralph Meeker plays a tough-as-nails private eye named Mike Hammer. The plot sounds like a typical detective story with a complicated plot and nasty characters set within a seedy criminal underworld lurking below the service of Los Angeles. But as Hammer dives deeper into the mystery, not everything is what it seems. And there's one helluva genre turn that the movie takes in its second half that still pays off today.
