Movie Reviews

The New York Review of Books - 10/10 by Geoffrey O'BrienIt took a director with Samuel Fuller's oblique angle of approach to find a vein of poetic anarchism in the conformist heart of the 1950s police-procedural melodrama.
The Skinny - 10/10 by Josh Slater-WilliamsLike a spiky romantic comedy got stuck in one of the 1950s' bleakest visions of humanity - and it somehow all works magnificently.
Village Voice - 10/10 by Charles TaylorAs good as are Widmark, with his proto-Method grin, and Peters, with her tawny, untutored naturalism, this is Thelma Ritter's movie. She transforms what could have been no more than a colorful eccentric to a figure of unshakable dignity.
Times (UK) - 8/10 by Wendy IdeThis atmospheric Cold War crime picture is a class act.
New Yorker - 8/10 by Richard BrodyFuller's pugnacious direction and his gutter-up view of city life romanticize both the criminal code of honor and the jangling paranoia of global plots; his hard-edged long takes depict underworld cruelty with reportorial wonder ...
Video-Reviewmaster.com - 8/10 by Steve CrumGreat noir piece with Richard Widmark complementing Samuel Fuller's direction.
Reno Gazette-Journal - 8/10 by Forrest HartmanThe 1953 picture does a nice job capturing the mentality of the Cold War United States.
Film4 - 8/10 by Billy MowbrayIt's probably been a while since you watched a film as tough as Pickup On South Street.
Creative Loafing - 8/10 by Matt BrunsonOne of Fuller's few studio-financed pictures, this bruising, brutal movie still manages to emanate waves of B-movie street cred at every juncture.
Variety - 7/10 by Variety StaffPickup for the most part falls flat on its face and borders on presumably unintended, comedy.
