    Society hasn't changed since then. Communication is easier, but this is still how different coteries of society react against crime. A brilliant describe. 10 years ago

    Outstanding movie, one of the best I've seen. That whistling is remarkable. The last scene on the court is perfect, Peter Lorre really amazed me.

    It's incredible to see how this movie still fits pretty well in our society, the message is still there and may be even more important nowadays. That's just fantastic.

    TheMG - I'm with TheMajor, in that the complete lack of score, rather than being a flaw, is a significant part of what makes the film so great. And I'd say that the second half, like the first half, is brilliantly paced. 12 years 7 months ago
