Leave your thoughts about Against All Odds.
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinAgainst All Odds is so lively and enjoyable on its own terms that its genre problems, while real, are easily overlooked. Mr. Hackford's brand of glossy, romantic escapism doesn't have to work as an homage. It has a vitality of its own. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThere is a lot of plot in this movie - probably too much. The best thing to do is to accept the plot, and then disregard it, and pay attention to the scenes of passion. They really work. |
| Kalamazoo GazetteJames SanfordAside from some sweaty sex scenes, a snooze |
| Capital Times (Madison, WI)Rob ThomasA decent film noir, mostly because of Woods and Bridges. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrThis is about as noir as Pete’s Dragon, best to accept its superficiality as a boon - Hackford, at least, gives it a slick exterior - and enjoy it is a vacuous thriller and extended Phil Collins video. |
| Wall Street JournalJulie SalamonLittle remains of the original but its weakest element - its overelaborate intrigue - and Hackford seems only to scramble it further. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Liam LaceyThe result is a flat, dumbly brutal movie, full of overplotted complexity and empty of all emotional resonance, except that provided by the presence of Jane Greer (the original film's dark lady, here doing a supporting role) and Richard Widmark. |
