Yeah, that's a fair rating. Definitely good, but not up to classics like WHITE HEAT, ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES, PUBLIC ENEMY, LITTLE CEASARM, THE PETRIFIED FOREST, Etc.

I like
Beast Of The City
better than most people. Its flaws are many, yet there's a kind of stone cold melodrama at the core of this one that, while admit it lays it on thick is done with what I can best describe as class. The actors are good, the criminals more wretched than most: The shootout at the end is something to see. Walter Huston sells it, and his hammy underacting actually helps to make it work. There a strong, virile emotional quality in the picture, and it kept me keep my eyes on the screen.
