On the waterfront

A fight between good and bad. At one side police and church, on the other side a criminal rather than a criminal organization.  Crime cannot get stopped unless the workers support the institutions (police and church). I can hardly believe in all this. The movie comes to an end when the conspiracy has been uncovered. Usually behind the crimes are powerful organizations, it is not possible to put all their members into jail and the people who fight against them have to fear reprisals. So the movie ends more or less at a starting point.
