A good actor sometimes grabs attention just by being in a film, and sometimes by their excellent performance. Humphrey Bogart delivers such a performance in the film High Sierra, where you believe him both as the gangster and as the man who could theoretically have a heart. He's not a classic torn hero, but he's not far from it either. Sometimes it's just circumstances that force us into something we don't want.
