If you loved Gun Crazy, try The Big Combo

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Joseph H. Lewis, and they sit in Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Gun Crazy, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Big Combo is

You're Diamond, a lieutenant fixated on a mobster and his girl. But the case unravels into torture and bodies. Lewis photographs it all with noir poetry. The movie lingers on its stark brutality.
