Critic Reviews for Johnny O'Clock
All Critics (6) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (2) | Rotten (4)
-
The caustically epigrammatic script, the cast's suavely controlled gestures of love and menace, and Rossen's thrillingly restrained and stylishly assertive images... make this pugnacious yet intricate spectacle a hidden classic of the genre.

Although the plot follows a familiar pattern, the characterizations are fresh and the performances good enough to overbalance.
July 6, 2010 | Full Review… -
Despite good performances and fine camerawork from Burnett Guffey, Rossen's first film as director is a disappointingly flat thriller.
June 24, 2006 | Full Review… -
The slowness and general confusion of the plot for two-thirds of the film does not make for notable excitement, and the shallowness of the mystery as to who's doing all the killing relieves it of any great suspense.

...a head-scratching misfire.

The protagonist, Dick Powell, seems more like a stuffed shirt.

Jan 19, 2014Decent noir with a fine cast but Powell seems disengaged in the lead. He doesn't ruin the picture but it would have been a stronger film with Mitchum or Kirk Douglas in the lead.jay n Super Reviewer
