      Bob Thomas Associated Press Criss Cross is cops and robbers stuff with a better than average budget of excitement. Jul 24, 2019 Full Review Richard Brody New Yorker A hectic fusion of on-location texture and stylish artifice. Jul 22, 2019 Full Review Ian Thomas Malone ianthomasmalone.com Criss Cross basks in noir’s proclivity to deconstruct the flawed nature of man, powered by Lancaster’s innate charm finally that’s confronted with its own limitations. Apr 18, 2023 Full Review Elsa Branden Photoplay A muddled meller. Rated: 0/3 Aug 20, 2021 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a disappointingly half-baked film noir that generally feels as though it should be much, much better... Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 24, 2020 Full Review Tom Beasley VultureHound Without any sort of meaty dynamic between the two leads, the movie finds itself in search of something to plug that gap. Rated: 3/5 Aug 19, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

      Steve D Hard to care about any of it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/01/24 Full Review Bill T Really fun noir that has Burt Lancaster as a dumb lunk (Note: He plays these extraoridinarily well) that returns to town and again, gets mixed up into the wrong sort of crowd. They plan a heist from an armoured vehicle, which... NOONE HAS EVER DONE, IT'S TOO RISKY. Lots of great usage of flashback, narration, and the noir tropes we've all come to know and love. This was a lovely relief from many days of blah movie watching. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/25/23 Full Review Georgan G A classic film noir. The 3 main characters are played brilliantly and the plot keeps you guessing until the end. Great atmosphere. This is an old film that is worth watching. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/13/23 Full Review paul d Robert Siodomak's Criss Cross is a great movie. True to the films of its day, and especially to the best noirs of that era, this is a taut and compact story. It's got several lifetimes of emotion and back-story that fuels Burt Lancaster's obsession with Yvonne De Carlo. Dan Duryea is an expert and creepy villain, as usual, and the movie is full of wonderful character actors. The sights and sounds of LA are another fine element to the story, adding texture and realism to the steamy and intense scenes. There is a great score and excellent cinematography, with the aerial scenes and occasional angled camera work as highlights. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review andrey k Splendid noir with outstanding cast, familiar but never boring plot and insidious femme fatale, the usual gem of such films. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review william d Excellent noir from the 40s. If you're a fan of the genre I'm confident you will like it too. He's not credited, but I swear that's Tony Curtis dancing with Yvonne DeCarlo in the bar. Lilly Munster was quite a good looking lady in her day. Not a very good actress though.
