If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Alternative title: IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO MEND. SYNOPSIS: Daredevil detective, Dick Manning, nabs a gang of warehouse bandits led by a blackmailing jewel thief.COMMENT: Borrowing a plot strand from "The Three Musketeers", this story serves mainly as an excuse for a series of acrobatic escapades by Richard Talmadge. One must admit that the daredevil, Talmadge, is not only in great form, but comes across as a moderately appealing personality. And it's also good to record that despite some histrionic shortcomings, Miss White makes an agreeable heroine. The rest of the players are serviceable enough. And it's certainly interesting to see that perennial solid western heavy, George Chesebro, in a suit (and doing a couple of double takes at that). Mr. Ray's direction rates a cut above his usual humdrum standard, thanks to some great location work with police cars speeding all out along actual streets and alley-ways.
