Critic Reviews

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
This is not a movie about murder so much as a movie about insanity -- as it applies to murder in modern American criminal courts. Friedkin plays with two decks and is happy to stack them both.

Rob Gonsalves, eFilmCritic.com
Basically, in re-editing his film to make a cruder point, Friedkin took out the shadings in his characters and the better work of his leads, and in no way whatsoever did he improve the movie. He in fact systematically made it worse.

Chris Hicks, Deseret News, Salt Lake City
...never gets under the skin of its protagonist or allows us to understand what he's supposed to be feeling.
