Minor Bogart crime/prison/noir mix that is enjoyable but overly familiar with no real twists or additions to the genre. You can't go wrong with 80 minutes of Bogey, though.

Humphrey Bogart is great as a gangster, but The Big Shot (1942) is underwritten and takes too many shortcuts to take advantage of his excellence. Still a highly watchable spectacle. You know, for Bogey.

Nothing great, but its so clear how much worse it'd be with a lesser lead.
