Fresh
Its portrait of a loner and his lusts comes up frighteningly fresh, and the whole conceit would collapse without the muscular, rousing presence of Gian Maria Volonte in the central role.

Fresh
A paranoid police procedural, a perverse parable about the corrupting elements of power, and a candidate for the greatest predated Patriot Act movie ever ...
David Fear, Time Out New York
Fresh
A provocative political thriller that is as troubling today as when it came out in 1970. Maybe more so.
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
Fresh
The movie survives beautifully both as an elegant thriller and as a study of the twisted infantilism that shapes the fanatic heart.
Ella Taylor, L.A. Weekly
Fresh
A potent study of power as pathology.
