Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
It's no doubt dated now, and the multiscreen graphics won't make any sense on a pan-and-scan video version, but this heist movie starring Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway was considered pretty hot stuff back in 1968.
A sad product of its times.
There are a lot of good things.
Possibly the most under-plotted, underwritten, over-photographed film of the year.
