In one scene, Martinelli asks Murdock if he's been around, and Murdock says, "East St.

Louis.

At this point in Humphrey Bogart's career, he was now a well enough established actor to be given free rein of his choice of director while on loan to Columbia Studios. He came up with John Cromwell who had given him his first break in the play Swifty, back in the 1920s.
Some Heavy-Handed, Anachronistic Traits keeps this from being a Top-Rung Film-Noir. The overuse of the Paratrooper Theme that becomes almost Cringe Inducing as the Movie moves along, and the usual Hard-Boiled Chandleresque Patter just never stops (there can be too much of a good thing).
The only thing worse than this "movie" was the fact that India Eisley's character keeps a video of the death of her parents on her phone and shows it around...
I am Die Hard fan of Scott Adkins even I Met Scott Adkins 3 years ago, he is a very person but I don't understand what's with his career that he chooses to be in this crappy films today sadly like with Incoming, Abduction worst of worst No Surrender, dear god now with this film it's like Scott Adkins has to pay bills to just to collect money get this film role that he never cares about, this is the worstest film with Scott Adkins I have ever seen. this is most baddest film I have ever seen don't expect Scott to be lead role or to be anything he is not Yuri Boyka as cruise ship welcome board type no, who would make a teen romance drama mixed with loosely based on brothers that blew up Boston Marathon Bombings I am like what kinda idea is that?
The first thing you may notice about this film is that the film print has not been well preserved...it is far from crisp.
I like Humphrey Bogart and hadn't seen this picture before. The story started out okay, but soon bogged down.
Those caricatures of Humphrey Bogart come into play in this Noir. After "The Maltese Falcon" Bogie played his tough, suspicious Sam Spade character to perfection.
