- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Crichton's films drag in dialog bouts, but triumph when action takes over."
-
"The Great Train Robbery is classy entertainment of the sort I associate exclusively with movies."
-
"There's a total absence of personal obsession - even moviemaking obsession - in the way Crichton works; he never excites us emotionally or imaginatively, but the film has a satisfying, tame luxuriousness"
-
"Crichton is after a giggly quality as if it's being told as a pub yarn"
