St. Ives is an ambitious Charles Bronson picture that looks good but finally doesn't quite work.

Rated: 2/4

The mystery, impossible to follow, is kinda fun; but Bronson, who's asked to carry the picture, sinks under the weight that's placed on his shoulders.

St. Ives‘ growing emphasis on its complicated, convoluted plot slowly-but-surely drains the viewer’s interest...

Rated: 2/4

The great cinematographer Lucien Ballard provides rich locale shots of an L.A. that looks unprepared for a noir film in color.

Rated: C+

It's all very slick, entertaining and undemanding.

This movie is so bad that when the convoluted action takes us to a drive-in movie the same film clips can be glimpsed four times...

It's not the worst Charles Bronson movie..not the best either..still it's okay for a 70's noir style film.

Thompson and Bronson team up, are hurt by weak script--Nice change of pace, great fun for any Bronson-fan!!

Chinatown reworking in modern clothes, at least modern when the film was made, is an okay film but the original is superior in every department.
