The cast has been well chosen for the rugged work at hand, and Mitchum is particularly effective.

"Out of the Past" serves its purpose.

The story is told in a confusing series of flash-backs, and the plot becomes so complicated that the only way out is to kill all of the principals.

A textbook example of film noir, with a perfect anti-hero, one of cinema’s all-time great femme fatales, and dialogue with edges as sharp as razor blades (a personal fave: "He couldn’t find a prayer in the Bible").
