Leave your thoughts about Eye of the Needle.
| New TimesGregory WeinkaufA lovely thriller, a gifted and prematurely departed director. |
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinAn ambitious, energetic thriller that stops short of real excitement for reasons that are hard to pinpoint. It's an entertaining movie, and an extremely well-acted one. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertI admired the movie. It is made with quiet competence, and will remind some viewers of the Hitchcock who made “The Thirty-Nine Steps” and “Foreign Correspondent.” |
| Backseat MafiaRob AldamRichard Marquand concocts a classic spy thriller with two great central performances. |
| StarburstJames EvansFor those who appreciate an exercise in classic Hollywood thriller filmmaking techniques, or twisted romantic entanglements, Eye of the Needle gets a solid recommendation from us. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Rick GroenOn an afternoon as wet as those on the island, the film would pass the time agreeably, nothing more. |
| CineVueAdam LowesRichard Marquand opts largely for more intimate surrounding and manages to squeeze out some memorable moments of Hitchcockian suspense and tension. |
| Washington PostJudith MartinAs a bestseller, this was a good read, but on film, the crimes the Needle commits on his escape route are so psychopathically gory that he is rendered loathsome. Sutherland's sometimes effective stillness, and some routine direction, are also offputting. On the other hand, Nelligan's anguish is quite touching; she grants the film's final passages a certain suspenseful, almost redeeming, grace. |
| User ReviewMagnus AIf you love spy stories with a twist, sort of Hitchcock vs. Stephen King, You will love this. Still think that this is one of Sutherlands best movies. |
| User Reviewgary twow umn just seen this movie 4 the 1st time n think that this is a good movie 2 watch,,,,its got a good cast of actors/actressess throughout this movie....i think that philip martin brown, kate nelligan, ian bannenm donald sutherland, faith brrok, george belbin, christopher cazenove, bill nighy, barbara ewing play good roles/parts throughout this movie.....i think that the director of this action/adventure/drama/romance/thriller movie had done a great job of directing this movie had done a good job of directing this movie because you never know what 2 expect throughout this movie...this is a great thriller movie 2 watch n its really enjoyable |
