Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Aimed squarely at crime fans and anyone who loves a strong drama. Leaves you with something to think about. Shelve it next to Bad Day at Black Rock.
The mood
Dark and gritty.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 3 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1936: an older pace and style.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

A gangland murder is the motivating factor of this fast-moving crime drama. George Murphy stars as reporter Kent Shevlin, whose investigation of the murder leads to a tenure as a temporary FBI agent.
