Movie Reviews

Chicago Tribune - 10/10 by Michael WilmingtonAided enormously by George Diskant's high contrast camerawork and by Bernard Herrmann's stunning score, which emphasises the hunt motif in Ryan's quest, it's a film of frequent brilliance.
USA Today - 9/10 by Mike ClarkThe Bernard Hermann score adds another dimension.
Chicago Reader - 8/10 by Dave KehrOne of the loveliest of Nick Ray's movies: this 1952 feature begins as a harsh film noir and gradually shifts to an ethereal romanticism reminiscent of Frank Borzage.
The Observer (UK) - 8/10 by Philip FrenchOn Dangerous Ground is tautly directed by that master of stark dramas, Nicholas Ray. Ryan and Lupino give sterling performances but the story line is broken up into two distinct segments, which lessens the film's impact and cohesiveness.
The New York Times - 5/10 by Bosley CrowtherFor all the sincere and shrewd direction and the striking outdoor photography, this R. K. O. melodrama fails to traverse its chosen ground.
