Blunt and terminally dull. Even though this is based on actual, pretty horrible events, the overwrought tone and wooden acting kill any tension and any realism the film could offer.

Hmmm. I don't know about this one. The Phenix City Story in itself was pretty decent. Said to have been based on a true story of citizens fighting against a tradition of vice and corruption, The Phenix City Story tells its story effectively and at some points gruesomely (you see kids getting killed in this movie--almost comically but still.) More of a crime documentary than the obscure film noir classic its made out to be, this isn't a bad movie. Some scenes are very well done even if elements of the story aren't fleshed out so well. The biggest problem I had with The Phenix City story was the opening 15 minutes of man-on-the-street interview footage with the actual people who lived through the story. I understand the desire to make the movie more authentic or real, but the hokey and heavy-handed interviews were a bit much. Overall, not bad...

Walking Tall in the 50s, with a gripping introduction interviewing actual witnesses, and some of the most callous violence in film history. Sometimes the world really is over the top.

Another movie I had to see for work and this one's a pretty damn good one. It starts off with a short news clip of interviews with journalists and people who were involved with the real life case of organized crime and corruption in Phenix City, Alabama and what follows is one hell of a film. Exciting, rousing and surprisingly quite brutal for its time (or any time really).

Phil Karlson's true crime pic targets an Alabama town that is rife with vice and corruption. Much like Sam Fuller's more hysterical work, the emotional pressure on the central characters (fighting the mob but resisting vigilante justice) is continually racheted up and up. Introduced with interviews with real people but closing with a pitch by the actor playing John Patterson (who later really became governor of Alabama and apparently substituted his own speech into some showings of the film when campaigning). Filmed quickly with a low budget but nevertheless gripping.
