In the Post-World War II, in Los Angeles, a criminal shots and kills a police officer in the middle of the night. Without any leads, the chief of the LAPD assigns Sgt. Chuck Jones and Sgt. Marty Brennan to investigate the murder and apprehend the culprits. When the dealer of electronics devices, Paul Reeves, is caught selling a stolen projector, the police identifies the criminal, and connects him to other unsolved robberies. Using the witnesses of his heists, they draw their face, but the true identity of the smart and intelligent criminal is not disclosed. The perseverance of Sgt. Marty Brennan in his investigation gives a clue where he might live.
挺普通一破案片，唯一称道的估计就是下水道追击战了
+ 比第三人和不夜城喜欢
7/10。上帝视角的旁白增加了影片的纪实性，电影高潮部分的追捕戏少对白，直观、冷峻地展现出来警方的严密布局与凶手的插翅难逃，但可惜直到影片结尾也没有交代凶手的阴谋究竟是何。
车压在井盖上哈哈。
一帧帧也是美如画，按照当年的情况拍摄的犯罪片简直超棒
