Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Robert D. Ruplenas Inspired by all the wonderful reviews on this site, I actually bought the CD, especially because of the wonderful cast - primarily William Bendix and Arthur Kennedy, but also a host of character actors we recognize but to whom it is difficult to attach faces, i.e William Talman (the hapless D.A. on Perry Mason), Gene Evans, Marshall Thompson, and Luther Adler. Despite all the plaudits here, the film, despite its attempts to capture the flavor of noir, descends into rote formulas and plot clichés. The fault is not with the actors, who all do well, but with the script. Credibility is stretched beyond the breaking point. No woman held hostage, with son in tow, by a group of thugs could ever realistically be expected to develop a romantic attachment with one them on a side trip while her son was being held by the others, especially when that side trip is a blatant plot device for exactly that purpose. Arthur Kennedy is one of my favorite actors and he does his best here with what he is given, but this potboiler should be avoided.

kapelusznik18 ***SPOILERS*** Overlooked prison escape drama with six convicts , out of some 50, escaping in a major break-out of a Southwestern prison and little by little doing the job, by killing or having themselves killed, that the pressuring police and state troopers have in store for them. Lead by the brutal Van Duff, William Bendix, who was seriously injured during the escape the six wanted men plan to make their way to the snow capped Rocky Mountians where he had previously stashed some $180,000.00 of stolen loot. With so much money on the line the six escaped convicts end up murdering kidnapping and assaulting a number of innocent people on their way to find the $180,000.00 pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.Murdering and kidnapping their way to the stashed money all but one of the escaped convicts bank embezzler Joe Quinn, Arthur Kennedy, survived to keep it only to end up being caught by the state troopers and put back behind bars before he could spend and enjoy it. The movie showed just what greed can do to those infected by it which caused the six escaped convict to self destruct before the film was finally over. And their flight to money and freedom turned out to be a very brief one for them. And far less satisfying then what they were facing behind prison bars. Check out a very young innocent and sexy Gloria Talbot as the girl on the train. Gloria struck up a friendly conversation with escaped convict Billy Lang, Marshall Thompson, who fell in love with her and was going to quit running from the law. Billy ended up murdered by fellow escapee religious fanatic Swanee Remmsen, William Tallman, with a knife in his back. Swanee a convicted murderer despite in his keeping with the biblical ten commands didn't quite observe the one that said "Thou Shall not Kill".

dougdoepke A curiously compelling little movie, Crashout is a throwback to the tough prison-escape movies of the 30's. Fortunately, the producers had the good sense to hire an expert cast of B-movie veterans to enliven an otherwise shopworn plot. Writer-producer Hal Chester and director- writer Lewis Foster provide each convict with a distinct personality that holds viewer interest as tensions mount, while the audience anticipates how each character will be brought to justice. Standouts in the cast are the always subtle Arthur Kennedy, an engagingly ambivalent Marshall Thompson, and William Tallman doing his scary psycho bit, this time as a knife-throwing religious fanatic. Then there's that raspy little gnome Percy Helton, lending his unique brand of character color. And in a poignant bit part, cult favorite Gloria Talbott as the prospect of a normal life for the ill-fated Thompson. The scenes in the dingy roadhouse are well done, along with an appropriately ironical ending. Though you've seen it all before, there are many nice touches that lift this otherwise generous slice of thick-ear beyond the merely routine.

randy-151 What an overlooked gem! What a find! This convicts-on-the-run thriller is outstanding. Top-drawer performances led by William Bendix and Arthur Kennedy leave their dirty thumb prints all over this film. Explicitly violent for its time, film noir doesn't get much darker than this. "Crashout" is on the same level as "Kiss Me Deadly", "The Asphalt Jungle" and "The Killing". This masterful story is an absolute must-see for any crime-drama and/or film noir buff. A guaranteed wild ride.
