4/4
Lang's first English language film seemed to anticipate the horrors at Abu Ghraib as far back as 1936. Go to Full Review Nick Rogers Midwest Film Journal Feb 2
4/5
A searing story of retaliation with a less obvious approach. While the last scene is a clear concession, there’s something delicious about the way this Oscar-nominated story roots its third act in its hero's s own ignorance and unlikely redemption.

It is meant to be a study of mob violence, on which level it is indignant, sincere, and inept. Go to Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy 11/13/2021
3.5/4
Whereas Lang's 1931 M was more ambiguous in its depiction of mob justice, this one clearly shows the dangers of vigilantism. Go to Full Review Robert B. Phillips, Jr. Washington Star 06/10/2020

bruce F @bruce999 12h I already liked both actors, but enjoyable movie, of a man, and a lynchmob See more John G @RT30749950 08/01/2025 This movie was made as a statement on the horrible nature of lynching. But using the model of a white on white lynching in 1933 entirely evades the racial issues. Then the worst part is the convoluted and often incomprehensible courtroom drama that ensues, trying to incorporate the "almost" murder of Spencer Tracy's character who is seeking vengeance for his "almost" lynching. 3 stars is generous. See more Alec B @Alec97 03/19/2025 Its still provactive in a lot of ways (i.e. being angry, even righteously so, doesn't justify violence or revenge) and its well paced. See more acsdoug D @acsdoug 08/26/2024 Decent Fritz Lang directed drama with a fine cast. See more Steve D @RT35616104 03/08/2024 Frustrating for the right reasons but tough to watch.
