宣傳片:
For me whom saw the movie for the first time, it is actually a bomb in my mind. Because the movie is directed like a documentary film, it would make the audiences feel the things in movie was really happened. Many frames were very bloody and violent in that time periods, I think that was like a big bang in the history of gangster movie. There are many key circumstances that are at a normal corner or restaurant, and this did add more senses of reality, like these things are just happening on the streets outside.
對於第一次看這部電影的我來說,此片無疑是一大震撼,因為電影採記錄片的手法拍攝,他會讓觀眾覺得這些都是真實發生過的。許多畫面以當時而言是相當血腥暴力的,我覺得可說是黑幫電影史上的一大突破。電影中許多關鍵場景往往就在一個不經意的轉角或是餐廳,更添加了真實感,彷彿這些事情就正在外面街頭發生。
