Dec 31, 2020I've enjoyed the three filmed interpretations of Joseph Hayes' book (one was a TV-movie). But, this is by far the best.Aldo G Super Reviewer

Nov 05, 2007A dense cat and mouse game featuring old Bogart, still pulling it off, maybe not as menacing as he could have, but it is his charcters rogue-like ambiguity that carries the movie. A hostage drama at its core, the movie features a many characters and depicts their conflicting interests. Of course, the increasing tension between the captors and the glooming disaster is what fires up the heat of suspense. Very good. HX
