Crime Wave Ratings & Reviews
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...a mostly compelling endeavor that succeeds as both a police procedural and a tense film noir...
TV Guide
The title tells it all in this low-budget film.
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
The sense of human vulnerability against hard architecture suggests Lang on a shoestring, but the bleak humanism is all De Toth's
Classic Film and Television
Michael E. Grost
Visually brilliant film noir.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
A nasty little masterpiece.
New York Times
By shuffling some standard ingredients with quiet competence, "Crime Wave," the new Warners film on the Holiday's screen, manages to look a good deal better than it is.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
A neorealist noir gem.
Slant Magazine
Eric Henderson
If the maxim "crime doesn't pay" is noir's given, then Crime Wave spins it to answer "but virtue barely scrapes up a living wage."
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Andre de Toth's 1954 noir is gritty, powerful, and economically told.

This low-budget B-flick was very entertaining.
