Critic Reviews
-
Don Druker, Chicago Reader
Action-packed, highly comic 1961 translation of Dashiell Hammett's Red Harvest.
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Even Eastwood's Man With No Name is inspired, perhaps, by the samurai in Yojimbo.
-
Bosley Crowther, New York Times
Despite the sometime appearance of the whole thing as a forthright travesty, it does have stretches of excitement and cinematic power.
-
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
It is fair to say that, without Yojimbo, certain key aspects of Western cinema would not be the same today.
-
Variety Staff, Variety
Rousing, good story, told with vigor and visual excitement by Akira Kurosawa, and splendidly acted by Toshiro Mifune, this has ideal remake material for a Yank company.
