The Hoodlum (1951)


Paroled sociopath career criminal Vincent Lubeck betrays his family's trust when he masterminds a complex armored car robbery.

Above-average crime drama is tough, but not very surprising; Lawrence Tierney is especially notable as the irredeemable criminal beyond any hope.

Halliwell (no star): "Toughish crime support with interesting moments."

Maltin**1/2: "Tough, compact, entirely predictable low-budget crime saga."
