Tightly plotted and perfectly cast, Kansas City Confidential is film noir at its finest. An obvious influence on Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs, this riveting 99-minute potboiler builds its escalating suspense on the fate of reformed ex-con Joe Rolfe (John Payne), whose floral delivery truck matches a duplicate truck used in a Kansas City bank heist. Joe’s been randomly framed by disgruntled, double-crossing ex-cop Tim Foster (Preston Foster) who masterminded the robbery, and in an effort to clear his name, Joe follows a trail of suspicion to a Mexican hideaway, where Foster’s accomplices (a sublimely hardboiled trio played by Lee Van Cleef, Neville Brand, and Jack Elam) have gathered to split their $1.2 million haul. Under Phil Karlson’s skillful direction, this nerve-twitching scenario unfolds as a clever case of hidden and assumed identities (having worn masks during the heist and getaway, none of the robbers knows the others’ identities), and Payne gives a smart, sweaty-browed performance as a hard-luck case who finds time for romance with Foster’s daughter (Coleen Gray) as he struggles to turn his fate around. For noir lovers, this movie’s pure bliss as Brand, Van Cleef, and especially Elam fill the screen with slimy greed and infectious mistrust. As an iconic example of gritty film noir, Kansas City Confidential remains exciting, unpredictable, and thoroughly entertaining. –Jeff Shannon

Kansas City Confidential (MGM Film Noir)

Usually, those who are arrested for driving under the influence are not aware of the impact it can have on their future.

When you are charged with DUI, you are at risk of losing your license.  There are things you must do to make certain this does not happen.  If you were given a breath test at the time of the incident, you have only 15 days in which you can file an appeal to try to prevent suspension of your license.  If you refused the test, there is a 30 day limit.  You should contact a competent and experienced Kansas City criminal defense attorney at once, so that you know exactly what rights you have.  He will also fight aggressively on your behalf to protect your future.

The reason it is so important to contact a reputable lawyer is that some will simply enter a plea, and not fight the case against you.  A seasoned lawyer will question all evidence, examine police reports and any video of the incident, and analyze every detail to insure proper procedures were followed.  Most likely, you are worried about what is going to happen to you.  A compassionate attorney will explain the process, so that you know what to expect when you attend court.

You may have been pulled over for no reason.  If you did take the breath test, it may not have been working properly.  Things do happen, and sometimes it can be to your favor.  You may be facing substantial fees or even jail time.  If convicted, your insurance rates may increase substantially and you could have a criminal conviction on your record, which affects many aspects of your life.  There are also steps that must be taken if your license is revoked; an experienced criminal defense attorney in Kansas City will explain the action you need to take to get your license back.

Driving while under the influence may affect your life in more ways than you think.  You need an attorney with experience DUI cases to represent your rights; one who will dig deeply to uncover any details that may benefit your case.  You don’t need just any lawyer – you need an aggressive Kansas City criminal defense attorney who is not afraid to stand up against prosecutors, police and any other parties involved.  Experience definitely does make a difference when it comes to your future!  Don’t delay.  Contact a lawyer who has successfully represented hundreds of individuals charged with DUI.
