The subject of the movie might not interest everybody.But it does not matter because it's mainly a criticism of capitalism.And anyway,Polonsky's directing is so stunning that remarkable sequences abound all along the movie :-The two arrests ,with the poor guy suffering from claustrophobia.-The very short scene when Garfield is frightened by his telephone,and the one when he uses it as a weapon.-Garfield in the street ,alone,surrounded by the huge buildings ,with this statue which seems to point him out.-Bauer's death in the cafe ,a film noir peak.-Garfield's desperate final search,when he finally redeems his soul.Hints at Genesis make Garfield and Gomez new Cain and Abel.They are both excellent ,especially Gomez who seems to die in every sequence ,exhausted,jaded,disheartened .The two female parts follow suit:Windsor is cynical ruthless and femme fatale to the core;Pearson provides the movie with its only ray of light.She epitomizes innocence,loyalty and tenderness.Her luminous face radiates and illuminates the whole movie."Force of evil" is a film noir extraordinaire.Some will say it's doctrinaire,Marxist ,but it has intellect and talent going for it.
