This has been said to be the most apocalyptic Noir of all time, even though it was roughly one of the last good Noir's to be made. The main character in the film is a fascistic private investigator whos name was Mike Hammer who was known as being a hard, selfish cop. This Noir is very brutal and is full of paranoia because at the time the Cold War with Russia was going on. The film itself was very low budget, a B-Movie and only costed around $400,000 without recognizable actors. The film has a lot of great cinematography, it had different and unusal shot points aswell. It had everything a Noir film should have, even character wise it had destructive feeme fatales, low-life gangsters and ofcourse an Anti hero. The mood in the film was set easily with these already you could sense that the film was ment to be dark and that people were up to no good... Or that you were ment to think that. It makes the audience paranoid aswell as the characters.
