Of course Saboteur is well directed, though it's rather like visiting an art museum's 'early works' exhibit of an artist before he became the Master of his form.

To put it mildly, Mr. Hitchcock and his writers have really let themselves go. Melodramatic action is their forte, but they scoff at speed limits this trip.

Top Critic
Top-notch espionage thriller with a jaw-dropping finale atop the Statue of Liberty.

A thrilling movie that -- while not among the top of handful of his films -- still strikes audiences as tense and highly entertaining many decades after its release.

A solid action thriller directed by Alfred Hitchcock, but it has many plot flaws and suffers from poor pacing.
01/01/00
The movie has its enjoyable, even humorous moments, but the brooding sense of danger and fear so prominent in his other films, are more noticeably absent.
