Below average Bogart movie - The Enforcer review by JG
This is a high quality rendition of a 70+ year old film, though putting a spoiler into the film’s synopsis is unfortunate. The theme is very dark and intimidating, so the PG rating is a bit surprising. The loose handling of suspects within the Police Station/DA’s office, and the ignorance on the part of the investigators of basic ‘gangster speak’ stretch credibility. The film builds tension effectively towards the end, though the chase scenes do come across with a touch of the Keystone Cops.
