"As good as Melville's setups are, the joys of the movie keep returning to Belmondo, then and now the king of effortless cool." - John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press

"Even back in 1962, Melville made the usual suspects feel new by wrapping them in gorgeous desolation." - Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
