Leave your thoughts about The Anderson Tapes.
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyStarring Sean Connery, Sidney Lumet's thriler is one of the best caper films of the 1970s |
| Time OutGeoff AndrewWatchable but curiously muffled thriller. |
| eFilmCritic.comScott WeinbergGood, old-fashioned Connery heist flick. Goes down smooth. |
| The TelegraphCatherine GeePerhaps Lumet was simply too ambitious in trying to work anti-bugging sentiment into the film. If he'd thrown out all the hidden mikes and stuck with the Heist, The Anderson Tapes would have moved with a more confident step in the direction of Rififi. |
| The GuardianPaul HowlettConnery more than proved he could carry a movie away from 007, and the film remains pretty enjoyable, even if it’s an uneasy blend of the kind of gritty crime picture that Lumet would make his stock-in-trade, and the lighter caper flick so popular at the time. |
| The New York TimesRoger GreenspunIn Sidney Lumet's The Anderson Tapes the quality of professionalism appears in rather lovely manifestations to raise a by no means perfect film to a level of intelligent efficiency that is not so very far beneath the reach of art. |
| TIME MagazineStefan KanferUnfortunately, failed comedy and vigorous suspense are handcuffed together for the entire trip. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole SmitheyAlthough one of Sidney Lumet's minor efforts, "The Anderson Tapes" functions as a cool retro caper movie full of nostalgic details. The film's car chase climax is no joke. |
| VarietyVariety StaffScripter Frank Pierson with director Sidney Lumet has injected broadly comic aspects and the laughs work without reducing suspense. |
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesIf this sort of thing bores you, you may want to give it a chance anyway because Christopher Walken ... makes his Hollywood film debut. |
