Movie Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertThis is a well-crafted movie by a man who knows how to hook the audience with his story; it's Frankenheimer's best work in years.
Miami Herald - 8/10 by Bill CosfordELMORE LEONARD'S thrillers leap so easily to the screen that it's astounding so few of them have gotten there. Even with the kind of slapdash, unsightly production that's been given 52 Pick-Up, Mr. Leonard's stories make terrific, unself-conscious B-movies of the sort that are more and more rare.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 7/10 by Dennis SchwartzThis is one of the few films taken from an Elmore Leonard novel that should please the author's readers.
eFilmCritic.com - 6/10 by Scott WeinbergOverbaked, underfed Elmore Leonard adaptation.
Washington Post - 5/10 by Rita Kempley52 PICK-UP is "Death Wish" for yuppies...But all the slime and grime can't camouflage the sameness of this standard, divide-and-conquer story.
Slant Magazine - 5/10 by Chuck Bowen52 Pick-Up loses its sense of social texture in the last third when everyone begins to die by decree of formulaic three-act screenwriting, and its indifference to the plight of Harry’s wife (Ann-Margret) is unseemly, but the film is an often nightmarish gem awaiting rediscovery.
LarsenOnFilm - 5/10 by Josh LarsenOddly inert, except when it’s blithely nasty, 52 Pick-Up may very well suffer from mismatched sensibilities: those of grim thriller director John Frankenheimer and witty crime novelist Elmore Leonard.
Reel Film Reviews - 4/10 by David Nusair...a thriller that's woefully lacking in thrills...
Los Angeles Times - 3/10 by Patrick GoldsteinA dull, plodding thriller...It’s not a bad premise for a seamy film noir, but the results are a major disappointment, especially considering that the script was written by tough-guy novelist Elmore Leonard (who authored the original best-seller) and talented young playwright John Steppling. Not only is the dialogue stilted and showy, but neither writer manages to make much sense out of the novel’s complicated proceedings.
Washington Post - 3/10 by Paul AttanasioJohn Frankenheimer has directed 52 Pick-Up in a style so devoid of nuance, the movie almost watches itself. From the crosscutting between Scheider and Ann-Margret that opens the film (an exchange of glances so portentous you think an earthquake is about to hit Los Angeles) to the way every emotion is underlined with tight close-ups, 52 Pick-Up is so aggressively explicit that it might have been made for an audience of trained apes.
