The Guardian -
It's a superbly crafted film by a cult film-maker and features a virtuoso bank robbery sequence shot in a single take from a camera in the back seat of a car.

The New Yorker -
It’s a strikingly modern, complex, disturbing, and yet sad, touching, and romantic film.

Chicago Reader -
Lewis's long takes and sure command of film noir staples (shadows, fog, rain-soaked streets) make this a stunning technical achievement, but it's something more--a gangster film that explores the limits of the form with feeling and responsibility.

The A.V. Club -
Joseph H. Lewis’ kinetic, psychosexual B-movie laid many of the creative foundations of the American cinema of the 1970s, though it took a round trip to Europe for the movie to develop a reputation at home.

IndieWire -
It’s a B-film with a heart of gold, even if that heart was probably stolen.
