Description:
Based on the shocking, true story of a criminal gang who terrorized Brooklyn for years, and featuring ?excellent performances? (The Film Daily) by a fine cast ? including Peter Falk in an Oscar®-nominated* early role ? Murder, Inc. delivers its terrifying tale of corruption run amok with riveting intensity!
In the violent burroughs of the 1930s New York, gangs spawned by Prohibition have found new work?as racketeers and contract killers! The most vicious of these is Murder, Inc., the merciless Brownsville, Brooklyn syndicate. As their reign of terror spreads, only one cop (Henry Morgan) has the nerve to methodically track them down, determined to destroy them by any means necessary!

Murder, Inc. (1960) is worth renting as a DVD, for the simple reason that
it shows the ugliness of murder, rubouts, contract killings in a Post-Prohibition
era, during which various gangs cooperated in a national syndicate, for profit
maximization as opposed to rival gangs competing for the same turf.
In fact, the gangs now prefer taking the low key approach, staying off the radar screen of
law enforcement. The biggest profit generators the movies suggests, are ... Read More

This is Peter Falk's movie debut and it's a doozy. He plays Abe Reles, a killer with ice water instead of blood in his veins whose favorite instrument to dispatch his victims is an icepick--appropriately enough. He oozes menace--so much so that you can't take your eyes off him when he's on screen and when he's not on screen, you can't wait for him to show up again, even though he's seriously nasty.
The supporting cast is definitely good, but this is Falk's show, no question. In fact, he ... Read More

Murder Inc. is a fictionalized account of the real-life syndicate killing machine created by Louis "Lepke" Buchalter to tie up loose ends within the organization.
The film, based on a book written by the New York DA who prosecuted the group, is a told in semi-documentary style, and features a fantastic performance by Peter Falk as Abe "Kid Twist" Reles, one of the group's top killer, who, in a fictional subplot, involve a nightclub singer and the singer's dancer/wife in the group's mayhem. ...

This is an interesting movie due to the casting of Peter Falk as the ice pick wielding Abe Reles.
This is a true story which is based on a book written by the main detective in the movie I guess.
It's a classic case of a nice guy (Joey) who gets involved with a bad crowd. This brings tragedy on not only himself but those he loves.
Reles rapes Joey's wife but then later says to her "If you're not sore I'm not sore."
He also tells them later: "I really ... Read More

This film is a gripping account of the crime syndicate that terrorized the nation during the waning days of the Great Depression. Filmed in black-and-white in a cinema verite style this film lays out the methodically brutal methods of the consortium that spread fear to the lawless and law abiding alike. The film focuses on the crime empire of Lepke (David J. Stewart) and how he held his grip on power through his vicious subordinates. None of his cronies was more brutal than Abe Reles, portayed here by ... Read More
