| Cinema WriterJay Antani[Lang's] ambitious command of the medium...keeps us rooted to our seats from start to finish. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeNot only the most modern-looking film of 1932, it still looks modern today. |
| VarietyVariety StaffThe story is very long-winded and even an ingenious director like Fritz Lang could not prevent its being rather slow-moving in places. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineFritz Lang's suspense masterpiece starts with a kick and then piles on the subterfuge, suspense and terror. |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonThe most notorious of the [Dr. Mabuse movies], simply because it was the film that helped trigger Lang's flight from Nazi Germany. |
| Senses of CinemaMichael KollerTestament is still a great film that provides a perfect summation of Lang's German career. |
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrThe movie captures an air of dread, despair, and individual impotence -- a political atmosphere that meshed perfectly with Lang's raging paranoia. |
| User ReviewMichael BA real classic, Fritz Lang at his very best. Beautifully shot and edited with strong acting. The opening scene in itself is wonderful to watch. If you haven't seen it yet do yourself a favor and do it soon. Highly recommended. |
| User ReviewDavid PGloriously weird, it really shows you how effective those old special FX could be! I'm always impressed by Langs camera work, given the equipment they were dealing with. |
| User ReviewYury Da touch weaker than its predesessor, yet it maintains the quintessential Fritz Lang look and never lets you down when it comes to psychotic over-acting German madmen. |
