Mitchum has never been better. This is an absolute gem of a film, very underrated and very under appreciated. Peter Boyle is also excellent and the direction superb. I think this film captures Boston and the lives of small time mobsters better than any other film.
Elmore Leonard called the novel upon which the movie is based the best crime novel ever written. The movie does it justice.
