White Heat

White Heat, at first glance, may seem like a run-of-the-mill mob film, but it is far from that. Raoul Walsh’s direction elevates this film to new heights, with some scenes that, frankly, are some of the most impressive that I’ve seen. The finale to the film is one of these scenes, showcasing the power that imagery and tension have when done correctly. I may be *very* far behind on reviewing this film, but I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it.
