Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Dennis SchwartzIt works best as a complex macabre black comedy on family relations.
Cleveland Press - 6/10 by Tony MastroianniSeldom has any movie had more gratuitous gore, more simple-minded sadism or more mediocre melodrama. This gangster drama set in the 1930's outdoes Bonnie and Clyde in mayhem with far less reason and virtually no artistry.
Combustible Celluloid - 6/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonIt's certainly a wonderfully entertaining and well-crafted movie that plays perhaps better today than it did in 1971.
Chicago Sun-Times - 6/10 by Roger EbertWhen the movie's over, you can't exactly say what it's meant to you.
Film Frenzy - 5/10 by Matt BrunsonNot even one milligram of subtlety can be found anywhere in this picture, resulting in a grueling watch.
User Review - 8/10 by Trent RUnder-rated gangster gem that evokes the style and themes of classic films while also touching on contemporary sexual politics, ironic use of popular music and humorous genre subtext. Wilson/Darby and Stevens/Musante present two contrasting couples with opposite fates not dissimilar to those in Bonnie and Clyde or Gun Crazy. While Irene Daley gives a fantastic turn as the brutal matriarch, giving Cody's ma in White Heat a run for her money. Joseph Biroc's cinematography captures all of the sweaty, fevered dialogue and implied rape, along with classic use of reaction shots, bullet hits, chase scenes, and the inevitable dance of death. Darby and Wilson play it a little broad, like sexually overwrought but homicidal juveniles, but it is appropriate to the material. The action high point comes with Ma Grissom's standoff at their K.C. safehouse, and the doomed couple's flight from it. Their final scenes are not sweeping or sensational, but stay true to the parody and unromantic tone - a nice contrast to many later films.
User Review - 8/10 by Nick FSubtly was not director Robert Aldrich's style. He saw things in very simple, blunt terms, and did not shy away from what other film makers might consider crude or over the top. When his films work, the punch to the gut knocks the breath out of you. THE GRISSOM GANG works like crazy. This backwoods gangster pic, set during the depression, begins with a kidnapping that goes bad, then morphs into one of the most volatile, edgy love stories every made. Kim Darby plays the love object here: a rich socialite who must do all she can to survive the degenerate Grissom gang that holds her prisoner. Scott Wilson plays Ma Grisson's mentally challenged, psychopathic son, great with a knife but clumsy and tongue tied in love. Aldrich's approach, though often jaw dropping, gets under your skin. Darby was never better and Wilson should have been nominated for an Oscar.
User Review - 8/10 by Zoran SThe Grissom Gang is a curious film. Cynical and pessimistic, the film is a black comedy about the dumbest crime family and a Stockholm relationship that develops. It's violent, anti-nostalgic, and anti-sentimental.
User Review - 8/10 by Greg BThis is perhaps one of Aldrich's greatest films.Scott Wilson gives a great performance.
User Review - 6/10 by Paul MMight have been good in its day but doesn't really hold up now. Apart from Scott Wilson as Slim there isn't really much to recommend it.
