Night Moves is a paradox: a suspenseless suspenser, very well cast with players who lend sustained interest to largely synthetic theatrical characters.

One of Penn's best features; his direction of actors is sensitive and purposeful throughout.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

Arthur Penn's Night Moves is about an old-fashioned private eye who says and does all the expected things while surrounded by a plot he completely fails to understand.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Fresh
An elegant conundrum, a private-eye film that has its full share of duplicity, violence, and bizarre revelation, but whose mind keeps straying from questions of pure narrative to those of the hero's psyche.
Vincent Canby, New York Times

Essential viewing.
