Movie Reviews

Village Voice - 8/10 by Michael AtkinsonThe structure and character sense of the David Goodis novel are intact, and a full-throttle supporting cast has a ball with meaty parts.
Seanax.com - 8/10 by Sean AxmakerThe plot is a stretch even in the realm of classic crime melodrama and film noir, not that it's an issue when you have the chemistry of Bogie and Bacall and great use of San Francisco locations.
ReelViews - 8/10 by James BerardinelliDark Passage is a must see for fans of Bogart/Bacall.
The A.V. Club - 8/10 by Noel MurrayDark Passage is usually ranked as the least of the four Bogart-Bacall collaborations, but it's a practically perfect little noir exercise, with Bogart as a prison escapee tracking his wife's killer.
Film Frenzy - 8/10 by Matt BrunsonJust because Dark Passage is considered the runt of the Humphrey Bogart-Lauren Bacall litter doesn't mean it lacks its own measure of shaggy-dog charm.
The Retro Set - 7/10 by Nathanael HoodBut even though the Bogart and Bacall relationship is put on the back-burner here, it's as sizzling as the romances in their first two movies...
DVDLaser - 6/10 by Douglas PrattThe plot has some admirable twists and turns and Agnes Moorehead, as the villainess, has three wonderfully showy scenes.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 6/10 by Dennis SchwartzThe film is almost stolen by bizarre performances by both Agnes Moorhead and Clifton Young.
Chicago Reader - 6/10 by Jonathan RosenbaumAn odd, atmospheric 1947 thriller with a San Francisco setting, adapted by writer-director Delmer Daves from a David Goodis novel and starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall.
The New York Times - 6/10 by Bosley CrowtherIndeed, it is in the bizarre contacts of Mr. Bogart with shady characters such as those played by these well-directed actors that Dark Passage achieves tension and drive. Perhaps he should be given more time with them.
