Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
In this context it is difficult to understand character or admire characterization.
Hampered by a thin screenplay, film is padded further by often-pretentious direction by Sidney J. Furie against expansive physical values.
Rotten to the core without a surface ripple in its moral superiority.
