“Perhaps the best example of Sam Fuller in ‘shocking exposé’ mode…Fueled by cinematic blood and thunder, Fuller’s tabloid-in-motion is a one-man crusade against organized crime.”
– Glenn Erickson, DVDTalk.com

“Arguably Fuller’s most efficient, brutal, and unsentimental film, and its reputation has only grown with the passing years…offers a compelling vision of American society in collapse.”
– Wheeler Winston Dixon, Senses of Cinema

The great American auteur Samuel Fuller gives us, in Underworld U.S.A. (1961), a terrifyingly prescient look at a nation – on the surface serene and at peace – in which organized crime and big business have somehow merged. All this is seen through the eyes of a young man (Cliff Robertson) bent on avenging the death of his father at the hands of “punks” who turn out to be ubiquitous and working on both sides of the law. Also starring (wonderfully) Dolores Dorn, Beatrice Kay, and Richard Rust, and memorably shot by the great Hal Mohr (Rancho Notorious, The Wild One).
