The Mob (1951)


Johnny Damico botches a murder case and is suspended from the force. In reality, he is put undercover to identify the mysterious boss of the NY waterfront who has murdered everyone in his way.

Above-average crime drama is tough and suspenseful with a great cast, but Broderick Crawford sure-handedly runs the show.

Halliwell*: "Tough, lively thriller with effectively sustained mystery and a serial-like finale."

Maltin***: "Crawford is tough as nails as undercover cop...Sharp dialogue..., good suspense in this combination crime drama-whodunit."
