- Synopsis
- Johnny McQueen, leader of a clandestine Irish organization, has been hiding in the house of Kathleen and her mother, planning a hold-up that will provide his group with the funds needed to continue its activities. During the hold-up, things go sour: Johnny is wounded, cannot make it back to the hideout, and disappears in the back-alleys of Belfast. Immediately, a large-scale man-hunt is launched, and the city is tightly covered by the constabulary, whose chief is intent on capturing Johnny and the other members of the gang. Kathleen sets out in search of Johnny.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"'Odd Man Out' is the rare movie classic that grows more relevant and compelling with every passing year."
-
"This may be Reed’s most pretentious film, but it also happens to be one of his very best, beautifully capturing the poetry of a city at night"
-
"Though the director, Carol Reed, doesn't quite succeed in creating a masterpiece, there are bravura visual passages, the sound is often startlingly effective, and the film provides an experience that can't be shrugged off."
-
"Very dark and very British, with strong performances all round"
