White Heat (1949)

“Cagney is the whole works in this show, although the story is excellent and the supporting cast is fine. But it’s Cagney who keeps the audience cowed... This Cagney picture is a gangster picture to end all gangster pictures.” –

The Big Heat (1953)
94%
“The Big Heat keeps moving from start to finish. There are no lags in the action, but curiously, almost no suspense.... There's an impersonal newspaper reportorial style about it which makes it temporarily believable.” –
