Delightfully intelligent and often irreverant, it's a good yarn and a good thriller to boot.

Great assassination-based thriller

Low on documentary conviction and political context, but an intriguing exercise in concealing the obvious.

[A] taut, slow-burning thriller.

I wasn't prepared for how good it really is: it's not just a suspense classic, but a beautifully executed example of filmmaking.

Like all Zinnemann's work, this meticulously crafted political thriller is involving but not exciting due to his detached perspective and the fact that we know the outcome, that De Gaulle wasn't assassinated, but it's cast with Europe's best actors.

It's a polished and exciting thriller, mercifully unburdened with heavy political/philosophical digressions.

An engrossing film about a terrorist.

The details are minutely observed and, to me, just a bit boring.

A taut, suspenseful thriller that is as exciting as the first time you saw it. Fox is wonderful as the assassin; a great cat-and-mouse feature.

The major asset of the film is that it succeeds in maintaining interest and suspense despite obvious viewer foreknowledge of the outcome.

A taut, suspenseful, and fascinating political thriller.
