Rating: 76/100 --
Edward G. Robinson's gravelly snarl and sociopathic disdain for human conventions became the template for countless future gangster anti-heroes

Cinemania
The production is ordinary and would rank as just one more gangster film but for two things. One is the excellence of Mr. Burnett's credible and compact story. The other is Edward G. Robinson's wonderfully effective performance.

New York Times
LeRoy's coldly efficient direction-due less to his own artistry than to the constraints of sound recording in its first years-imposes a static rigor on the action and lends the actor's diction and gestures a sculptural, granitic force.

Though it looks somewhat dated now, there's no denying the seminal importance of this classic adaptation of WR Burnett's novel.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Small-time, small-town hood Cesare Enrico "Rico" Bandello (Edward G. Robinson) vows to rule the rackets and not be "just another mug." With his friend Joe Massara (Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.), Rico moves to the city, where he uses murder -- including the assassination of the police commissioner -- to advance rapidly within the mob... until he attempts to take over the entire underworld.
