no to redemption
1 October 2022
Petty criminal Marc Fury (Victor Mature) got shot. The cops believe that he is involved in a murder at a gambling house. The real killer, gangster Joe Farrow (William Bendix), wants Fury to take the rap. Fury steals incriminating evidence against Farrow after being double-crossed. He manages to win the case, but the cops take him into custody anyways. Before taken in, he slips the evidence onto unsuspecting social worker Lynn Warren (Terry Moore). It turns out that the government is trying to deport him.

Terry Moore is lacking but Victor Mature fits the role perfectly. I like the gangster part, but the redemption arc is less appealing. I definitely want a darker progression. He doesn't deserve his redemption. His court speeches are unconvincing. The movie is trying to sell something and I'm not buying.
