🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The documentary constructs a compelling narrative arc, relying on a wealth of film clips and scholarly insights to map the genre's DNA. It explores the potent cocktail of social despair and cinematic innovation that gave rise to an iconic American figure.
What lingers after viewing is an appreciation for how these early films established a language of crime, power, and moral ambiguity that filmmakers still speak today. — MovieFinder Editorial
