Critics' reviews

"'Target' isn't a suspenseful spy movie, but it makes up for its shortcomings with its genuine good- heartedness.

Rita Kempley: The Washington Post
"Target depends on a few sleights of hand, all transparent; so transparent that you quickly forget about what's wrong with the movie and focus on its strengths"

Paul Attanasio: The Washington Post
"A deadpan satire of the espionage film that explores the accepted logic forming the basis of the genre."

TV Guide
"'Target' is a spy thriller that's not only completely understandable and involving throughout, but also continually surprising along the way"

Variety Staff: Variety
"Even with Arthur Penn as its director, and ingenious casting, it is, sad to say, mainly for connoisseurs of the car chase, European style"

Sheila Benson: Los Angeles Times
"It's astounding to see Arthur Penn's name attached to this piece of cheese"

Dave Kehr: Chicago Tribune
