Johnny Rico - R-I-C-O - is a violent mobster with a headstrong attitude.
As are most of the anti-heros of the Film Noir period, one of my
personal favourite types of film, ever. I saw this one during my Noir
phase.
Anyway, Little Caesar is one of those good Film Noirs where the bad guy
is tough, just like everyone else in the film. The most memorable scenes
are easily the ones where Rico is just being a tough guy, getting the
job done.
Of course, the ending is predictably "message," but that aside, its still a rollercoaster film from start through.
