106 minute running time so at least ten minutes too long … Mickey Spillane’s Mike Hammer, but the screenplay by Al Bezzerides, and there’s no story here, it’s just a mess … I’d seen this before years ago but had forgotten about it … nuclear secrets (1955 after all) and crazy dames, but it’s just junk … Hammer smacks some people around, punches a guy down a staircase … he’s pretty unflappable, which is nice. Glowing box copied both for Repo Man and Pulp Fiction. Criterion put it in their collection and John Farr liked it, but I say, give it a miss.
