A Descent into Dullness

For a little dude James Cagney is very good at pulling off being threatening. And at almost two hours its good to see that its not just modern filmmakers who don't want to cut scenes. White Heat is best known for Cagney's final lines - "Made it, Ma. Top of the world!" But there is a better than average caper movie in the hour-fifty leading up to that as well. A train robbery, double crosses, a prison break and more...

I once shot a man in Denver just to watch him die.

But he got up the next day.

Probably a vampire...

Damn immigrants.
