The Norman Jewison film tells a crackerjack story, well-tooled, professionally crafted and fashioned with obvious meticulous care.

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.

Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Rotten

A sad product of its times.

Geoff Andrew, Time Out

There are a lot of good things.

Renata Adler, New York Times
Rotten

Possibly the most under-plotted, underwritten, over-photographed film of the year.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
