Pushover

1954 · 88 min Crime Thriller Drama
6.5 / 10 · TMDB

Six hours before the heist, Detective Paul Sheridan was assigned to watch a bank robber’s girlfriend. The job was simple surveillance, but in the quiet hours outside her apartment, a different plan took hold. This 1954 crime thriller weaves a tense web of obsession and betrayal, as a good cop’s fixation on a beautiful woman pulls him into a dangerous game of double-cross. Shadows lengthen and loyalties blur in a gritty drama where the line between lawman and criminal dissolves under the pressure of desire.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The director builds a claustrophobic, paranoid mood where every frame feels morally compromised. The camera's persistent gaze mirrors the protagonist's obsessive descent.

Ideal for viewers drawn to psychological thrillers about corruption. You'll feel complicit in the slow, inevitable unraveling. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Richard Quine
