Max NosseckThe Hoodlum (1951)

Lawrence Tierney ("Reservoir Dogs") plays an unreformed, hardened criminal who has just been released from prison. While working at his brother's gas station, he becomes very interested in the armored car that makes regular stops at the bank across the street.

If you enjoy heist films, watch this. Tierney was perfect for this type of role.

This is a neat little B picture featuring two thirds of the Tierney acting family.
Standard plot but a little unusual for the time with its reference to extra marital pregnancy.

Subject: Lawrence Tierney "RESERVOIR DOGS" Saves It
Tierney is always cool to watch and that make this film a good, solid entertainment.

This movie was dull and predictable, too heavy on the "moral-lesson of how a crook ends up". The hoodlum was really just too shallow and the plot too thin to be entertaining. Another recent noire-upload is Woman on the Run and it's not a great movie but it was so much more engaging...
