Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
A little windy and rhetorical for my taste, but still one of John Huston's best efforts.

fresh:
Emphasis is on tension in the telling, and effective use of melodramatic mood has been used to point up the suspense.

Although the characters are basically stereotypes, they are lent the gift of life by a superlative cast.

rotten:
The script prepared by Mr. Huston and Richard Brooks was too full of words and highly cross-purposed implications to give the action full chance.
