Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Brooks' adaptation of Conrad's novel is immeasurably better than its reputation.

rotten:
Joseph Conrad's elaborately structured fiction poses monstrous problems for film adaptation, and the solution proposed here by Richard Brooks -- plodding literal-mindedness -- doesn't come close to working.

rotten:
Something bewildering has happened in Richard Brooks's making of it, and it misses at being either Conrad or sheer entertainment cinema.
– Bosley Crowther,

rotten:
Brooks, while capturing the spirit of adventure of the novel, only superficially catches the inner emotional and spiritual conflict of its hero.
