Action Crime Drama Film-Noir Thriller

7.3 / 10

Joe Sullivan is itching to get out of prison. He's taken the rap for Rick, who owes him $50,000. Rick sets up an escape for Joe, knowing that Joe will be caught escaping and be shot or locked away forever. But with the help of his love-struck girl Pat and his sympathetic legal caseworker Ann, Joe gets further than he's supposed to, and we are posed with two very important questions: Is Joe really the cold and heartless criminal he appears to be, or is there a heart of gold under that gritty exterior? And does Joe belong with the tough, street-wise Pat, or with the prim, moralizing Ann?

Raw Deal is one of the more underrated Film Noirs. Diehard fans of the noir genre certainly know about it, but it's overall underrated by the general public. There's this "humming sound" song that plays every time Claire Trevor's character talks to herself in her head that's kinda creepy but beautiful at the same time. - @Monday, September 24, 2018 10:40 AM

One of the legitimately good examples of “Noir”. A darn good film that is bleak and hopeless. You just know from the tone, music, characters and vibe that it will not end well. And it is all done with STYLE! This is Noir. - @Saturday, July 21, 2018 3:23 PM
