Highlights:
- The intelligent script and screenplay make this film a treat to watch.
- The mutually possessive mother son duo is brilliant; Especially James Cagney as the criminal Cody Jarette with his tactful ways and superiority complex puts up - in his own dialogue - a 'top of the world' show.
- The police strategies of tracing the whereabouts of the criminals were interesting to watch.
- The heated-up conversations add to the entertainment offered.
