A decent stab at a film noir with a tough and gritty vibe going on. Robert Stack - later the host of UNSOLVED MYSTERIES - plays an army investigator who infiltrates a gang of robbers to solve a murder. The setting is postwar Japan which keeps things feeling fresh and original, a really nice change of pace. Robert Ryan has a tremendously tough role as a hard-bitten criminal and is involved in the electrifying climax.
