Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Before he met Melina Mercouri and became an Artist, Jules Dassin made a number of worthwhile thrillers as a Hollywood contract director.
– Dave Kehr,
Chicago Reader,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
A moody piece of Wellesian chiaroscuro (shot by Max Greene, ne Mutz Greenbaum) and an occasionally discomfiting underworld plunge.
– Michael Atkinson,
Village Voice,
25 Mar 2003
rotten:
Inclined to go over the top, it all too clearly contains the seeds of Dassin's later -- and disastrous -- pretensions.
– Tom Milne,
Time Out,
26 Jan 2006
rotten:
A pointless, trashy yarn.
– Bosley Crowther,
New York Times,
28 Jan 2006
fresh:
Jules Dassin, in his direction, manages extraordinarily interesting backgrounds, realistically filmed to create a feeling both of suspense and mounting menace.
