Any undercover cop seeing it must get the shivers when he hears the line, delivered ominously: 'Nobody in Chicago knows you.' Watch out! Your alibi is unravelling! Yes, it has its nervous moments.The open-world style of gaming has become one of the gaming industry's most popular genres. Will the undercover girl get the guys who killed her pa? Or will they get her first? This is a surprisingly early film about drug-dealers. The film is surprisingly robust, and it holds one's attention well. Edmon Ryan is interesting as a crooked doctor wracked with remorse, oscillating between killing people and wanting to be a good dad and renew his Hippocratic oath. He has that lean, tormented look of a starving hound dog, and wears a wonderful garish tie with a naked girl on it, which he hopes makes him look tough. We really worry about him as he whines his way from crisis to crisis. He plays a loser 'groupie' to some gangsters, and of course after playing with fire gets seriously burned. And this film marked the film debut of the extraordinary character actor Royal Dano. Gerald Mohr is there, a smoothie psycho gangster, just the sort of guy we don't want to meet. The film is strengthened by the brief but reassuring presence of Connie Gilchrist as Sadie, who may have a small part but she adds fibre to the diet. Her two love interests are Scott Brady and Richard Egan, both convincing. So she is very chameleon-like, and it works. She can be soft, she can be tough, she can be nondescript, she can be glamorous. Alexis Smith does an excellent job of portraying the lead character, revealing several different sides to the character with equal conviction. This was only the second film directed by Joseph Pevney, and although it was made on the same old B picture shoe string which made the rounds of the footwear of every B producer, it is good sturdy stuff.
