Review of Bullet Scars

Bullet Scars (1942)
unoriginal, but fun (very minor spoiler)
24 September 2004
Warning: Spoilers
Though there's not much original in this flick, it's a fun light gangster show. There's nothing too heavy here (but there's a couple deaths - that was the spoiler).

The good character-actor cast are all better known for other work, but they do an admirable job here, and seem to be having a good time with it. They are not taking themselves or the film too seriously, but they are playing it strictly straight.

Howard Da Silva plays the heavy, and while he can be very menacing in some of his roles, he uses a very light touch here (he's almost affable).

I can heartily recommend it as an entertaining hour's worth.
