This Gun for Hire

THIS GUN FOR HIRE (1942) - Dec. 26, 2005
An entertaining film noir about a hitman who is double crossed by his latest client and who sets out to get revenge. Alan Ladd is quite good as the stone-faced hitman, a mean, cold-blooded killer, who has a soft spot for cats and little else. The movie is fast-paced, and at 80 minutes is over well before it has a chance to over-stay its welcome. ***
