Rotten
Brooks, while capturing the spirit of adventure of the novel, only superficially catches the inner emotional and spiritual conflict of its hero.

Something bewildering has happened in Richard Brooks's making of it, and it misses at being either Conrad or sheer entertainment cinema.
Bosley Crowther, New York Times
Rotten
Joseph Conrad's elaborately structured fiction poses monstrous problems for film adaptation, and the solution proposed here by Richard Brooks -- plodding literal-mindedness -- doesn't come close to working.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
Fresh
Brooks' adaptation of Conrad's novel is immeasurably better than its reputation.
