Title: Far Far Beyond "A Classic Movie" (An Example Of Karma)
Review: Someone here wrote that this movie is showing its age. Nothing is further from the truth. A movie like "Pulp Fiction" doesn't come close to this serious movie. This movie has "Pulp Fiction" beat all to hell because the plot is more real. The acting is at a MUCH higher level. It's the strong characterization developed by superbly executed acting in this movie that sets "The Asphalt Jungle" above movies like "Pulp Fiction". Every character in this movie was 'done in' by his/her own foibles. This, is an example of karma, an Eastern concept that was used in pulp crime movies of that era. John Huston conciously emphasized that concept, karma, in "The Asphalt Jungle". You will not finde a better "Crime Genre" film than this one.
