Critic Reviews:
- “Upon first viewing, it seems like a straightforward film, but the more one watches it, the more tension one sees in the relationship between the couple.” – Hollywood Reporter
- “A taut drama with great performances and a recipe for action and tension that modern-day thrillers could learn from.” – Movie Metropolis
- “One of Sam Peckinpah's finest films, a relentless study in violence and machismo that is shocking, not only for its explicit gore, but for the degree to which it manipulates ‘civilized’ audiences.” – TV Guide
