Kansas City Confidential (1952)

Good Crime Noir


A good crime noir from the 1950s. Solid acting, nice cinematography and an interesting story with a couple of twists and quite a few intense moments to keep the viewer on the edge of their seat in suspense.

    
Joe Rolfe is a man getting his life straightened out. He's set up to take the rap of helping with a bank robbery while the big boss and his 3 new members of the masked gang take off to Mexico. Joe gets some help to get to Mexico and a little bit of information as to who might have set him up to take the robbery fall. When Joe gets to Mexico he finds Pete Harris who ends up being shot down by the police and Joe then takes Pete's identity to find out more about why and who set him up.

The movie is worth watching if you like the older crime films - sometimes there's quite a bit of action on the screen to keep it "spicy" and a couple of twists to keep it interesting.

8/10
