The emphasis is on the suspense story -- and we will, I suppose, have to settle for being grateful that it is wrapped in contemporary terms. Go to Full Review Bernard Drew Gannett News Service 07/15/2019
It is too bad that so vital and important a subject is given so lax and diffuse a treatment. Go to Full Review Penelope Houston The Spectator 07/13/2018
Robert Alan Aurthur, who begins as though he might have something to say about extremism versus non violent protest on the picket-line, loses it rather rapidly down the melodramatic dark alleys. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Steve D 09/02/2023 Unpleasant predictable but well acted. See more 10/27/2015 When you watch this movie, its very important to remember that it was the late 60s...Early 70s, In that context and with that back-drop the movie is very cool. If you judge it by todays where-withal, its very corny . See more ashley h @ashleyhobgood87 12/28/2012 The Lost Man is an incredible film. It is about a gang of black militants plots to rob a factory to finance their "revolutionary struggle." Sidney Poitier and Al Freeman Jr. give excellent performances. The screenplay is well written. Robert Alan Aurthur did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the drama. The Lost Man is a must see. See more Read all reviews
