... essentially launched the heist film as a genre of its own and set the blueprint that all subsequent heist dramas built upon.

This film noir beauty largely set the template for Rafifi, The Killing, and all of the other classic heist flicks that would follow in its wake.

Austin American-Statesman

Asphalt Jungle is a realistic, well directed, well written story of the underworld.

Gone With The Twins

Fresh
