[The film] at first tends to be somewhat confusing, soon settles into a tense and suspenseful vein which carries through to an unexpected and ironic windup.

Fresh
Arguably Stanley Kubrick's most perfectly conceived and executed film.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Fresh
Characteristically Kubrick in both its mechanistic coldness and its vision of human endeavour undone by greed and deceit, this noir-ish heist movie is nevertheless far more satisfying than most of his later work.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out
Fresh
An engrossing little adventure.
