Riveting example of Siodmak's skill not only in transforming indifferent material, but in giving the feel of studio noir to location shooting.

the strengths of Cry of the City lie mostly in the strong performances ... and realistic evocation of life among the urban poor

It's an exciting motion picture, credibly put together to wring out every bit of strong action and tension inherent in such a plot.

Variety
Rating: 4/5 --
The sequences on the rainy, neon-lit streets of downtown Manhattan are brought off with exhilarating flair and the two men's closeup confrontations have power and punch.

Guardian
The supporting cast is mainly wasted, with interesting characters quickly sidelined in favour of an impossibly complicated story, while a plot strand involving stolen diamonds just doesn't work.

The beauty of Siodmak's film is how it objectively observes how a man acts with the spectre of death on his shoulder.
