Aldrich's direction and dynamite performances from the two old troupers make this film an experience.

Don Druker, Chicago Reader
Fresh

The chain of circumstances grows, violence creating violence. Once the inept, draggy start is passed, the film's pace builds with ever-growing force.

There is nothing particularly moving or significant about these two.

Bosley Crowther, New York Times
Rotten

The Grand Guignol elements themselves are relatively forced and unconvincing.
