Strange Alibi - 1941 (Day 22)

Scott Hays September 10, 2014

My Take:

Sgt. Joe Geary goes deep, too deep undercover to get in good with the Mob to bring them down. Once on the bad side… he goes to prison because his only alibi bit the dust.

Part noir, revenge, crime… I though Arthur Kennedy tore it up as good guy gone temporarily bad guy Geary. He had to go to prison for a while and spend some time in the box.

What I Liked:

The premise reminded me of the original Infernal Affairs, without the infiltration from the other side.

What I Didn't Like:

Poor Geary just gets in with the Mob and then… bam! he’s off to prison, if the movie were longer than 63 minutes, maybe they could have set that up a little more.

What I Learned:

How to make a chiv out of Jolly Ranchers.
