Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Pickup for the most part falls flat on its face and borders on presumably unintended, comedy.
– Variety Staff,
Variety,
1 Dec 2008
rotten:
Sam Fuller, who wrote it and directed, appears to have been more concerned with firing a barrage of sensations than with telling a story to be believed.
– Bosley Crowther,
New York Times,
25 Mar 2006
fresh:
It isn't his best, but this 1953 feature may be the archetypal Sam Fuller film, a condensation of his themes and techniques with the steam still rising.
– Dave Kehr,
Chicago Reader,
2 Oct 2002
fresh:
Perhaps finally flawed by its overt political assumptions, but the film remains a desperate kind of masterpiece.
