Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 4/4 --
Kazan shot most of the film on location, using high-contrast cinematography and an extremely mobile camera to create a palpable sense of urgency.

Rating: 8/10 --
...remains a taut, effective drama fascinating both for its technical acumen and for its disturbing prescience of the travails Kazan would face with HUAC in only five years.

Daily Telegraph (Australia)
The best work is done against the grain of Louis de Rochemont's newsreel tidiness

CinePassion
This 1947 film is limited in scope and feeling, but the superficial dramatics work well enough.

Rating: B --
Though not one of Kazan's best films, Boomerang is perfectly watchable.

Product Description:
Hailing from early on in the career of director Elia Kazan, BOOMERANG! tells the noirish tale of an innocent man brow-beaten into confessing to the murder of a minister. Dana Andrews stars as the D.A. who decides to dig deeper into what seems like an open-and-shut case. Arthur Miller fans should look for a cameo by the playwright in the suspect line-up. Based on an article by Anthony Abbott in Reader's Digest, this brilliant true crime drama represents one of Hollywood's first forays into the gritty Italian neo-realist style of filmmaking.
