Reviews

“EXEMPLARY.”
– Richard Brody, The New Yorker

“You have Siodmak as one of the great natural noir directors and the clearest diagnosis of Burt Lancaster anyone would ever make.”
– David Thomson

“A wonderfully seedy tale, beautifully shot and scripted… As always with Siodmak, the suspense is maintained throughout by taut pacing, visual precision and excellent characterization.”
– Geoff Andrew, Time Out (London)
