A really interesting film only because of the plot twist in which the man we'd most like to root for (Bogie) turns out to be a total prick. Not only does the audience turn, but so do the people in the film.
And although they don't necessarily win (say, get the gold), they definitely do not follow in Bogie's footsteps in terms of, you know, dying.
I can't imagine another film like this. Often, the bad guy wins and that's OK. But never does everyone not win and hardly is the audience's allegiance yanked around like a rag doll.
In general, I could take or leave this film.
