\"\"
\nA unique crime story — a small-time thief (Bronson) is turned into a legend by his tough-as-nails moll (Cabot). “Machine Gun” robs a chain of banks and finally turns his ambitions to kidnapping — hounded all the way by a compulsive fear of death. The photography by Crosby is elegant, the acting of the lead pair and the supporting cast are all pretty much dead-on. A tight, efficient telling of a memorable tale, peopled with all sorts of interesting characters (the gas station owner\/accomplice who keeps a deadly menagerie behind the garage, Cabot’s mom who keeps telling Kelly what a disappointment he is because he hasn’t broken into the “big time”, etc.).<\/p>\n

Interestingly, this film takes the gangster genre beyond film noir (finally, after 3 decades) by making his characters not only self-loathing but WORTHY of self-loathing!<\/p>\n

One of Corman’s very best films as a director.<\/p>\n
