Edgar Ulmer has a cult reputation and some seriously impressive credits on his CV but the fact remains many of his movies aren't very good such as this effort. A safecracker is busted out of gaol by a mad general who wants a formula to create an invisible army. That's not a bad concept for a film but not enough is done with it. Too often the invisible device looks like an excuse to have cheap special effects.
There's a kindly old scientist who is force to help with the operation, lots of mediocre acting and unexciting action. It does get points for ending with an atomic explosion.
