As in the best <em>noir<\/em>, these two characters are utterly deserving of each other, but find themselves foiled (inevitably) by their own ambitions. In a unique twist, however, Tierney is the <em>homme fatale <\/em>in the equation &#8212; the irresistible <em>male<\/em> who causes havoc on the otherwise ordered lives of those around him. <\/p>\n<p>While in some ways gruff-guy Tierney (best known for playing the title role in 1945&#8217;s <em>Dillinger<\/em>) is perfectly cast, he&#8217;s ultimately not a nuanced enough actor to bring Wild&#8217;s inner life to the surface; we never get a sense of him as anything other than a menacing hulk &#8212; and, given his lack of charisma, it&#8217;s difficult to see why so many women would fall head over heels for him. (He&#8217;s handsome and strong &#8212; definitely &#8220;not a turnip&#8221;, as one character puts it &#8212; but not THAT handsome!) <\/p>\n<p>Trevor, however, does wonders with her challenging role, managing to make Helen sympathetic even as she stupidly gives up a life of luxury and contentment (with dull but moneyed Phillip Terry) for the questionable [sexual] thrills afforded her by Tierney. While there&#8217;s much critical discussion of Trevor&#8217;s dramatic eyebrow-raising throughout the film, I find her performance refreshingly sincere. The cast of supporting performers are mostly fine as well, with reliable B-actor Elisha Cook, Jr. playing nicely against type (sort of) as <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Of_mice_and_men\">a care-taking &#8220;George&#8221; to Tierney&#8217;s &#8220;Lennie&#8221;<\/a> (he has a bit more spunk here than in his usual roles), and the inimitable Esther Howard &#8212; whose grotesquely fascinating face is as creaky and crooked as a jalopy &#8212; equally effective as the catalyst who brings Walter Slezak&#8217;s <em>sleazy<\/em> PI to San Francisco. <\/p>\n<p>Less impressive is Audrey Long as Trevor&#8217;s conveniently naive and gold-hearted foster sister, who is simply too beautiful to be credible as a wealthy heiress so easily won over by an uncultured lout like Tierney. Other elements of the plot strain credulity as well, simply through lack of sufficient explanation &#8212; i.e., what is Tierney&#8217;s relationship, past and present, with Cook, Jr.? How did Trevor get to be Long&#8217;s &#8220;foster sister&#8221;, and why is Long so loyal to her? Ultimately, however, one watches a picture like this simply to see how the corrupt protagonists will meet their ends &#8212; and the ride until then (implausibilities aside) is mostly satisfying, thanks to Trevor&#8217;s memorable performance, some crackling dialogue, and Robert De Grasse&#8217;s <em>noir<\/em>-ish cinematography. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Claire Trevor as Helen Brent<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/born-to-kill-trevor2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/born-to-kill-trevor2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11557\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Fine supporting performances by Elisha Cook, Jr., Esther Holland, and others<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/born-to-kill-cookjr.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/born-to-kill-cookjr.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11558\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/born-to-kill-howard.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/born-to-kill-howard.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11559\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Robert De Grasse&#8217;s cinematography<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/born-to-kill-cinematography.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/born-to-kill-cinematography.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-11560\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Some zingy dialogue:<br \/>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;He&#8217;s the quiet sort, but you get the feeling that if you got out of line, he&#8217;d kick your teeth down your throat.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nYes, simply for Trevor&#8217;s performance.
