Movie Reviews

Empire - 10/10 by David ParkinsonA tight plot that's enriched by wonderfully crafted characters that each have their own key weaknesses.
Chicago Tribune - 10/10 by Michael WilmingtonRosson's moody photography and Rozsa's moving score further enhance this film noir masterpiece.
BBC.com - 10/10 by Paul ArendtShot with an eye for the grimy beauty of the underworld and utterly merciless to its characters, The Asphalt Jungle is a biting, bitter espresso of a movie.
FanboyNation.com - 10/10 by Sean MulvihillDeep in those shadows within the seedy underbelly of the city lies some of the most engrossing cinema ever made.
Orlando Sentinel - 9/10 by Crosby DayBlood and trauma make an irresistible mix in John Huston’s The Asphalt Jungle.
Portland Oregonian - 9/10 by Ted MaharThe Asphalt Jungle would be considered a heist picture if the mood didn't dictate otherwise. The standard "honor among thieves" theme applies, but dishonor gives the film its special noir flavor.
rec.arts.movies.reviews - 9/10 by Dragan AntulovHuston as director is in his prime, utilising the script and the acting talent to their fullest.
Tim Dirks' The Greatest Films - 9/10 by Tim DirksThe Asphalt Jungle (1950) is a naturalistic film noir crime film classic of the early 1950s from director John Huston
Nick's Flick Picks - 9/10 by Nick DavisAmong John Huston's most overrated works, only partially redeemed by Jaffe's brilliance and Marilyn's cameo.
Seanax.com - 9/10 by Sean Axmaker... essentially launched the heist film as a genre of its own and set the blueprint that all subsequent heist dramas built upon.
