Very good movie with great performances by leads but this mystery thriller is simply not one of the best or, as some apparently would say, the best movie of all time. The genre simply can’t carry the weight. It is even debatable whether this is Hitchcock’s best effort.

Superb movie—I would rank in any top ten list for any period. Writing and acting so memorable and above the usual dross that Eve stays with you in almost a haunting sort of way. Truly exceptional.

Clipped speech and deadpan humor help soften the overall depressing subject matter.

Low budget look; pulp fiction.

This Movie is a lot of fun. Wrong Missy character in particular very fun to watch with her hyper kinetic energy and amazing range of facial expressions.

Fast paced crime drama driven by good acting wrapped by riveting soundtrack. Caan a little one dimensional but that goes with the plot of a ruthlessly independent and professional safe cracker. Lost my original copy and proved my rating chops by buying another.

One of those movies you hesitate to say you like for fear of cinematic snob ridicule. Too bad. What’s not to like about a movie starring Jack Nicholson and a bunch of irascible martians who shoot down a proffered peace dove to embark on mayhem. Even amidst all the death ray disintegrations, the movie is excruciatingly funny. So pt your high brow pretentious aside, sit back and enjoy watching an interplanetary slugfest.
