John Huston's "The Asphalt Jungle" places more emphasis on preparation and downfall as much as it does the actual caper, and it is a decision that pays off splendidly.

View all The Asphalt Jungle reviews
'Doc' Riedenschneider, legendary crime 'brain' just out of prison, has a brilliant plan for a million-dollar burglary. To pull it off, he recruits safecracker Louis, driver Gus, financial backer Emmerich, and strong-arm man Dix Handley. At first the plan goes like clockwork, but little accidents accumulate and each partner proves to have his own fatal weakness. In the background is a pervasive, grimy urban malaise.

"“We’ve seen caper films before, but sometimes more care goes into the set design and the casting and so forth…. Sam Jaffe had kind of a twinkle to him from his earliest years doing Gunga Din (1939), and he dials into the very strange tone of this film…. One of greatest performances.” - Alec Baldwin “It’s a great caper film…that has you on the edge of your seat. Sterling Hayden started out as such a glamour boy in movies…. He rebelled against that finally got discovered as an"

“When a criminal mastermind, a bookie and a lawyer join forces, assembling a crack team to pull off a lucrative jewellery heist, the expectation is that the robbery be awarded the most screen time. John Huston's "The Asphalt Jungle" places more emphasis on preparation and downfall as much as it does the actual caper, and it is a decision that pays off splendidly. Depicting the minutiae of the plan from the perspective of the criminals and compounding naturalism and expressionism to achieve the distinctive aesthetic and correlative content of film noir, "The Asphalt Jungle" is an anatomy of crime that never glamorises its subject. Nothing is over-dramatic or extraneous, every shot meticulously designed, expertly framed and diffidently lit in a sustained manner, matching its unassuming Midwes” read more
