One of the great film noirs and a quintessential heist movie, a classic of American hard-boiled storytelling that, though endlessly copied, hasn't been bettered. [27 May 2005, p.C6]
John Huston's classic film noir, adapted from W.R. Burnett's novel, is a forerunner of dozens of heist movies, few of which surpass it. [26 Feb 1999]
A competent (often overrated) thriller by John Huston about a group of crooks who plan a jewel robbery and how their characters determine the results.

This one bored me.
A bunch of jerks do a jewel heist, and it all goes to hell.
I didn't care about any of the characters, or the heist, or its' aftermath.
Only merits, effective cinematography, and seeing Marilyn Monroe in a small role.
