| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzA failed attempt at an Alfred Hitchcock suspense thriller. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe film should have either been about the burglary or about romantic intrigues, not about both. |
| User ReviewDoug OOne of the best and most original thrillers of the 60s It has a terrific story, great performance by Michael Caine, one of John Barry's best scores and a smashing title song by Shirley Bassey. The pacing is difficult for those raised watching Sesame Street and MTV and may be beyond their short attention span... |
| User ReviewNils LRather odd film, but Caine is always Caine. And the John Barry soundtrack is of course very... John Barry. |
| User ReviewAdam BSadly, this one doesn't hold up for me: it's too cold, distant - and the downer ending betrays the original novel by Desmond Cory. Nevertheless, a tremendous score by John Barry - and a dramatic set-piece mid-film: Caine doing a "deadfall" during a burglary while "Romance for Guitar & Orchestra" (14m) plays in real time. |
| User ReviewTherese OGreat 60's thriller. Michael Caine cannot be matched in this film. Some of the parts drag on a bit too much, but if you're a fan of the cliche 60s burglar film, this is a good one to watch. There's lots of bad love scenes, as well! What's with people not moving their heads? |
| User ReviewIlsa LThis movie seems to get bad reviews but I liked it. Its a jewel heist film with some dark twists. |
| User ReviewBryan RStylish, but not enough so that I can forgive the plodding story and tired ending. |
| User ReviewTimm SSlow-paced Thriller..If There Ever Can Be Such A Thing?? About Two Jaded Men Discovering What It Takes To Not Let The World Get The Better Of Them & Their Ego. The Two Long Drawn Out Heist Break-In Scenes Involving Caine Are Quite Epic Though..Draw You Right In. |
| User ReviewFilmGrinder SThis movie is boring and predictable because in the beginning they tell you what they are going to do and then they do it. Where's the suspense in that? I hated this movie. |
