Short Review

Racket Busters is an okay film. It is about Manhattan gangster John "Czar" Martin who enters the trucking business in an effort to control the produce market. Humphrey Bogart and George Brent give decent performances. The screenplay is a little slow in places. Lloyd Bacon did an alright job directing this movie. I liked this motion picture because of the adventure.
