Reviews in German: "Der skrupellose Gangster Jack Diamond bringt es in den zwanziger Jahren in der amerikanischen Unterwelt zu zweifelhaftem Ruhm. Da er bei Schießereien und anderen Auseinandersetzungen immer wieder halbwegs heil davonkommt, entsteht die Legende, er sei unschlagbar. Schließlich glaubt er selber daran und nutzt das, um seine Terrorherrschaft auszubauen.
Die Zeit der Weltwirtschaftskrise und des Alkoholverbots in den USA. Der aus dem Gefängnis entlassene kleine Dieb wird durch Verschlagenheit und Kaltblütigkeit zum gefürchteten Killer und persönlichen Leibwächter des Spielers Arnold Rothstein. Die Handlung ist spannend, Actionszenen eilen hastig über die Leinwand, Boettichers Regie ist frisch, tadellos und kraftvoll. " (Heyne - Der klassische Gangsterfilm)
