Critic Reviews for The Big Knife
All Critics (6) | Fresh (5) | Rotten (1) | DVD (1)
Fortunately, an outstanding cast helps make the transition from stage to screen a success.
A Tinseltown exposé like a manicured hand clenched into a fist
A stinging film on Hollywood's studio system.
...an antiquated misfire.
Audience Reviews for The Big Knife
A pretty good Hollywood story movie, but I saw it on TV and didn't get to watch the whole thing, so I can't say much about it. I would like to see the end.
Super Reviewer
Good film about Hollywood with great performances and script. This would get another star if they cut about 15 minutes toward the end. Everyone is good in it but Palance gives the best performance of his career,and Steiger is fucking amazing as a L.B. Mayer type studio head. Good film.Watch it!
