Belfast police conduct a door-to-door manhunt for an IRA gunman wounded in a daring robbery.
Top critics, in their words
The movie has a vaunted place in the context of British cinema, and deservedly. Today, what Odd Man Out most suggests is a desperate endgame, the potentials of a long life snuffed out in a moment of impulsiveness.
This may be Reed's most pretentious film, but it also happens to be one of his very best, beautifully capturing the poetry of a city at night.
Carol Reed has made his film with deliberation and care, and has achieved splendid teamwork from every member of the cast. Occasionally too intent on pointing his moral and adorning his tale, he has missed little in its telling.
Carol Reed's first great postwar film.
Odd Man Out is a picture to see, to absorb in the darkness of the theatre and then go home and talk about.
