Voted #4 in the American Top 10 Gangster list right behind Godfather Pt.1, Pt.2 and Goodfellas. A very high rank for an older film. Having seen James Cagney in The Public Enemy just a few short weeks ago I was hoping for and expecting a lot more out of this one.This is not the type of Gangster film I was expecting, it is less Mob Gangster and more Cops and Robbers Gangster. The film starts with Cagney's gang holding up a train. He manages to get away and fesses up to a lesser crime he didn't commit across the country. Hoping to serve his 1-2 year term and get away with a crime that would have sent him to the electric chair. Meanwhile, the cops plant someone in the prison to find out where he hit the money and get information on the crime he really did commit.
This is a fast paced cops and robbers movie while a great cast and great acting. I felt it deserved the high ranking by the AFI and highly suggest this film.
Vote: 8/10
