Criss Cross (1949)

Director: Robert Siodmak
Starring: Burt Lancaster, Yvonne De Carlo, Dan Duryea

Synopsis:
An armored car driver plots a heist with her ex-wife's new husband.

Impressions:
This is a pretty good noir story about a guy who gets in it deep over the girl he just can't shake no matter how much he knows they're bad for each other. It was interesting to see how this dynamic played out with the inclusion of the new husband in the mix. There's some good tension leading up to the heist, but it gets even better in the aftermath. It's a rather satisfying move, all told, and worth giving a watch.
