I am totally pleased with this wonderful film noir starring Humphrey Bogart and Lizabeth Scott. The story is very well told and I love films with red herrings, so this one is all the more better! Miss Scott is absolutely lovely in this film as usual and her acting is sublime. The chemistry between Bogart and Scott is very well established as one can tell that 'something' is brewing. The cinematography is great also! This film is definitely worth the watch if you like a lot of action and mystery - and you definitely get both!

Bogart is always good. With these old movies it's a safe bet that both of us will like it, which is nice. There was lots of suspense, intrigue and mystery throughout. Lizabeth Scott sang and that was a nice surprise to find that she had such a beautiful voice. There's a little romance, of course and a nice surprise ending. It makes for a good relaxing evening at home and you can't beat that.

One of Bogart's underrated films. I originally didn't see it until 1977. Then in the 1980s I taped it off the air and later got a VHS issue and relied on that for many years but the picture was less than satisfying. This DVD solves all of that. A great noir film released in early 1947, the first half told in flashback with Bogie narrating. Highly recommended.

Dead Reckoning is a well above average movie and a must for the film noir collector. It is a tight and well thought out script. I found the acting well done. Keep in mind that this is a forties picture and the style of acting was different than acting done today. My only complaint is Bogart’s acting when he is talking on the phone in at least three scenes. His lines are delivered too fast and unbelievable. Lizabeth Scott gave an excellent performance. Her beauty and hair is stunning and one is mesmerized looking at her. This in itself is well worth buying the movie. There are those that think Lauren Bacall should have had this part. I truly don’t think Bacall could have handled it better plus, she is not as pretty as Lizabeth Scott. Lizabeth’s fine acting had the viewer fooled right up to the last. One is unsure if she is a bad girl or a good girl. The movie is very well produced on DVD release. Buy it.Read full review
