5/10
It's okay if science is your thing.

I found this one to be bogged down with too much exposition and so little action. Plus too little of Edward G. Robinson and George Raft together, mainly at the conclusion. They apparently had clashed on their first teaming together with "Manpower" but for nostalgia's sake agreed to do this together. They're on the opposite sides of the law, with Robinson a federal agent investigating communist espionage and Raft as a mobster who has turned traitor.

The underrated Audrey Totter plays an aging femme fatale who's out for revenge when her sister (Toni Gerry) is murdered in the cover-up so she has to pretend to be on Raft's side. It's pretty boring and talky until veteran Little Caesar meets up with veteran nickel flipper Raft and the later has the chance to redeem himself. This one really didn't hold my attention like others of the era even with good character support from George Dolenz, Peter Van Ecyk, Steve Geray and future "General Hospital" star Peter Hansen.
