This wasn't too bad of a film although it's not one of my favorites.

It tells the story of a guy who ends up at a motel and everyone there is taken hostage. The film sort of reminds me of another Bogart film, The Petrified Forest, which came out some time before this one. The plot was a little slow at times which detracted from the film a bit.

The film stars Edward G. Robinson, Humphrey Bogart, and Lauren Bacall. All of them do a good enough job, but none of them are all that spectacular either. Bacall was better in Dark Passage and Bogart was far superior in The Maltese Falcon.

Overall, while a decent film this is nothing terribly memorable. It was the last film Bogart and Bacall made together.

72/100
C-

UP NEXT: More Bogart and Bacall - To Have and Have Not.
