While a competent film - about two street hoodlums who grow into a life of crime, especially bootlegging - made more interesting by the fact that it was made during the period that prohibition was in action (in America, at the time). The film itself is simply a run-of-the-mill Gangster film.
During the rise and inevitable fall of the two main characters, we get to see them grow and change, harden up and come into the constant ire of the police. There is an interesting dynamic arc going on with Powers' family which ultimately raises the integrity of the film.
