Reviews
“The most exciting, dynamic and influential Noir movie ever made.” – Eddie Muller
“Among [the film’s] triumphs: a pair of object-hungry young marrieds fondling pressure cookers in a department store and shivering orgiastically while a hold-up goes on.” – The New York Times
“Lewis is firing on all cylinders, prompting his leads to a very real evocation of amour fou… Far more energetic than Bonnie and Clyde – the most famous of its many progeny – its intensity borders on the subversive and surreal.”
– Time Out (London)
