Movie Reviews

Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) - 9/10 by John BeifussHarsh, leering, implausible and fascinating -- it's the type of yarn that might have been dramatized in 'The Strangler,' the fictional dime horror comic that is the favorite reading matter of the story's over-aged j.d. 'mama's boy' murderer.
Variety - 8/10 by Variety StaffPlot intricacies are deftly interwoven, with director Fritz Lang doing a topflight job of balancing the ingredients without dragging the pace.
Future Movies UK - 7/10 by Matt McAllisterIt may not be in the same league as Metropolis, M or The Big Heat, but there are enough interesting elements to make it worthy of rediscovery.
Chicago Reader - 6/10 by Dave KehrThe story is a cynical twist on Lang's famous M.
Radio Times - 6/10 by Tony SlomanThis thriller about the battle for control of a newspaper is quite intriguing and boasts a starry cast.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 6/10 by Emanuel LevyOne of Fritz Lang's last and best American film noir, the plot is complex and involving, and the visual style clear and extremely effective
Independent (UK) - 4/10 by Miranda KiekAlthough you could run a horse and carriage through the plot, the dialogue isn't bad.
User Review - 10/10 by Zoran SPerhaps Lang's most misanthropic film. it's a pretty angry look at media sensationalism.-- a nice play on his great film M
User Review - 10/10 by George POutstanding noir and more, great direction, screenplay and acting. Future director Ida Lupino has perhaps her best performance here, but outdone by Dana Andrews in probably his best role.
User Review - 8/10 by Marcus WMakes a fantastic companion piece to Lumet's Network
