O último filme de Bogie traz o veterano em mais uma ótima atuação (ainda que Steiger quase roube o show) e é suficientemente ambicioso, ainda que um tanto maniqueísta. ... uma pena, também, que as lutas sejam tão mal encenadas.

The unwell Bogie's last film is not a knockout, but his hard-hitting performance is terrific.

Even in a film where everyone seems to end up a loser, Humphrey Bogart finishes his career with a solid Bogie performance.

Both [Rod] Steiger and [Humphrey] Bogart deliver outstanding performances, and director Mark Robson (Peyton Place, Valley of the Dolls) paces the action deftly.

Bogey's last picture, a preachy but gritty fight film.
