Critic Reviews for The Enforcer
All Critics (9) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (8) | Rotten (1) | DVD (1)
Walsh... endows the film's deadly violence with stylishly macabre flourishes. Yet the movie's originality is mainly in its script, by Martin Rackin.

[The Enforcer] is a very good film indeed, and one which must appeal to anyone who happens to have a base instinct about him.
Vivid film noir, with many images that recall other Raoul Walsh thrillers.
Fine latter day Bogie (1950), and the title says it all.
A história bem construída e as boas atuações são o ponto forte deste noir, que se inspirou em fatos reais e foi um dos primeiros filmes a abordar o universo dos assassinos profissionais - e Bogart, mesmo no piloto automático, é sempre interessante.
A fast moving film.
Audience Reviews for The Enforcer
Minor crime caper. In his last Warners movie Bogart is excellent as always but the film is average in all other aspects

Super Reviewer
When a hoodlum staggers into a police station and confesses to the murder of his girlfriend, it sets in motion a chain of events which leads to D.A. Humphrey Bogart following a series of clues and bodies uncovering a group of ruthless contract killers. All the elements of film noir are in place, including gritty violence in darkened streets and tough, uncompromising characters. The structure is a little episodic, most of the story being told in flashback, and it would've benefited from giving more screen time to Bogie himself, but it's still a tautly directed and well shot minor classic of the detective genre.
