As a heist thriller, it follows the conventions of the leading French film noir to the letter and in an vacuous way. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 5/10

Fans of the cast should enjoy this internationally flavored workman-like heist flick from Henri Verneuil.

Rated: 3/5

The Spectator

A fairly low-pressure thriller, by no means sparkling, but at least adequately solid and professional.

... a solid, tightly-directed heist thriller with continental style, international star power, and an ill-advised twist of vengeance that leaves no one untouched.

A nice heist movie with an interesting story and a good cast. Sadly, the movie is mostly ruined by the worst soundtrack I have ever heard; the theme song, which is virtually playing for the entirety of the movie, is constantly interrupted by the most cartoonish "BOING" sound one could imagine. I have no idea who is responsible for this abuse, but it is actually ruining the entire movie experience.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

A great gangster film with three heavy weights of French cinema, Jean Gabin, Alain Delon and Lino Ventura. And Ennio Morricone's music elevates every movie.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Delon is irrepressibly watchable (easy on the eyes, and so casually comfortable on camera) that the goofiness of the various heists hardly matter. Also, the bleak and violent ending is a welcome surprise.

Hello, dear Ladies and Gentlemen. My name is Oleg Eikhe and for me the film "The Sicilian Clan" is one of the pinnacles of French cinema. Brilliant Jean Gabin, daring Alain Delon, ironic Lino Ventura, charming Irina Demick - the movie, although filmed in 1969, has not lost its relevance today. You can watch the twisted plot in one breath!
