Kansas City Confidential - 1952

IMDB summarizes this movie as follows- "A down-on-his-luck ex-GI finds himself framed for an armored car robbery. When he's finally released for lack of evidence--after having been beaten up and tortured by the police--he sets out to discover who set him up, and why. The trail leads him into Mexico and a web of hired killers and corrupt cops."

The only thing I would add to that is the film noir movie has a great script but for some reasons runs really slow. There are a few recognizable B actors from that time that do an okay job in this one, but I wouldn't waste my time. 2.5 stars. Not really a heist movie, more of a revenge movie.
