El último refugio, de Raoul Walsh, constituyó uno de los primeros éxitos de Humphrey Bogart, que le imprime mucha fuerza a su personaje, Roy Earle, un ladrón recientemente puesto en libertad impelido a dar un golpe antes de empezar una nueva vida alejado de la violencia. Se trata de un thriller imbuido de lirismo dirigido con el talento habitual de Walsh, narrador sucinto, ágil y directo. Un tono fatalista impregna toda la película, que propone una visión realista de la figura del forajido, sin caer en la idealización ni en la desmitificación.
