Synopsis

Underworld U.S.A. (1961) is a crime noir you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Samuel Fuller with Cliff Robertson in the lead. At fourteen, Tommy Devlin watches four men beat his father to death in a back alley — and never lets the memory go.

Two decades later he comes looking for them. By then the four killers have climbed the ladder into the leadership of a sprawling crime syndicate. To reach each one, Tommy plays a long con from the inside, gaining the organization's trust while plotting its collapse. The closer he gets, the thinner the line grows between justice and cold, calculated revenge.

Fuller shoots it grimy and hard, with no sentiment to soften the edges — late-period noir where the avenger is nearly as dangerous as the men he hunts. Stark black-and-white, lean cutting, a morality that flirts with pure cynicism. A real find for anyone who loves vintage crime cinema from before the color-blockbuster era. Stream Underworld U.S.A.
