Critic Reviews
-
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
This rigorous, compelling, radically stylized film represents the end point in a line of development that Otto Preminger had been pursuing since the late 60s.

, TV Guide's Movie Guide
Director Preminger was handed his first project in five years, a great cast, and good material (based on a Graham Greene novel), and he came up with this anemic little thriller.
-
Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
A pointless film that valued computers more than it does people.
-
Chuck O'Leary, FulvueDrive-in.com
An OK revenge thriller that's helped immensely by George Kennedy's sympathetic lead performance. However, there's too much talk and not enough action.
-
, Film4
The film is a triumph of missed opportunities, miscasting and misdirection, excused, if at all, by the fact that money ran out and Otto had to hock some paintings to finish it.
