IMDB

A loan shark is preying on gamblers who work at a factory. An ex-con, Joe Gargan, goes undercover to take out the loan shark when his brother-in-law dies. Joe works his way up the factory ladder and then up the mob ladder when he loses his job at the factory.
Good film noir. This is a lot better paced than the other noirs I've watched recently. The settings are fairly typical (factory, back alley), but they are presented well. Definitely worth a watch if you like noirs. It's available on DVD with Arson, Inc. They're probably extremely cheap, too.

7/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
