This production is loaded with wit, and even though it’s obvious from the start that Frank’s going to be the hero, you can’t help feeling the tension and pleading with him to do the right thing.

One of Bogart's half-dozen best, a tense and atmospheric classic.
01/09/04
Huston's wayward talent seldom lacked energy.
04/08/08
A little windy and rhetorical for my taste, but still one of John Huston's best efforts.

Like the similarly sweaty, claustrophobic 12 Angry Men, Key Largo is a rare adaptation of a stage play in which the physical constraints of the stagebound source material are a strength rather than a weakness.

Perfeclty tense atmosphere and performances, with the sparks flying between Bogart and Bacall.
04/08/08
It ultimately pales next to other Bogart and Bacall work, though it's still a reasonably good watch that has stood up well over the last 50 years.

Taut Huston thriller with an unbeatable cast.
02/12/04
The script prepared by Mr. Huston and Richard Brooks was too full of words and highly cross-purposed implications to give the action full chance.
