Movie Reviews

Village Voice - 9/10 by J. HobermanFor a disposable entertainment, Shockproof has an intensity that sticks to the mind--yours, mine, or Richard Hamilton's.
Slant Magazine - 8/10 by Ed GonzalezGiven its poetic nuances, it's a shame the film succumbs to cliché.
Classic Film and Television - 8/10 by Michael E. GrostWell done mixture of romance and film noir.
User Review - 8/10 by Eric RAn interesting thriller written by Samuel Fuller and directed by Douglas Sirk. It is a really odd combination as you get Fuller's gritty raw attitude mixed with Douglas Sirk's melodrama but it actually works quite well. The film doesn't have any real hero or villain but rather focuses on the various character's emotions, which send them down certain paths.
User Review - 8/10 by Greg WWhile Shockproof will inspire more groans than gasps, it's essential viewing for fans of Mr. Fuller and Mr. Sirk.
User Review - 6/10 by Stan MWhen I noticed that Samuel Fuller was one of the script writers for "Shockproof", I had anticipated a high quality exciting noir. Instead, I was disappointed to encounter an unconvincing paint by numbers noir with a whitewash ending.
User Review - 6/10 by Christopher SFilm noir melodrama is unfortunately a bit soft around the edges, considering the talent involved - co-written by Samuel Fuller and directed by melodrama maestro Douglas Sirk. The story gets off to a strong start, but quickly degenerates into mushy theatrics before a solid final act with some effective suspense scenes - but the film ends on a false note with a tacked-on ending. Allegedly, Sirk was disappointed with the film because Fuller's original screenplay was considerably watered down before production.
User Review - 6/10 by Daniel WProbation officer Cornel Wilde is such a kind-hearted guy, he finds it necessary to insert himself into his parolee's lives to show them the benefits of a normal, crime-free life...unless the parolee is the lovely Patricia Knight, then all bets are off. Directed by Douglas Sirk, and co-written by Sam Fuller(!), "Shockproof" is a fairly average Noir that lacks both the former's characteristic emotional glossiness, and the latter's blunt, fist-to-the-face storytelling. (It's a good bet that the tacked-on, happy-happy ending was not in Fuller's original script.)
User Review - 6/10 by Paul DEssentially a love story, the plot around it is well structured, with the various forces forbidding their happiness, it becomes a gritty tale of togetherness with strong direction from Sirk.
User Review - 6/10 by Justin RDecent enough crime drama that kind of goes off the rails in the final third. Not Sam Fuller's best script or Cornel Wilde's best performance, but they both make this worth a look.
